Hello
No on the nicotine. Most asthma medicines would (albuterol) and the majority of false positives no cause is found.
The real test is hair or mass spectroscopy. The dipstick frequently mis fires on amphetamine. Frankly, it can be hard to even read them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
