Does Urine Drug Test Be Positive Despite Having Passive Smoking Habit?

I quit smoking July 14, 2015, but I have been around second hand smoke and will be taking a urine test for an upcoming job offer. I am reading all sorts of things on the internet - how long will second hand smoke show up on a urine test? Also, I have used a nicotine free vapor and am being told that should be OK - but even that I have not used for a week now. Please advise

Hi

Second hand smoke can also make a drug test positive if the amount of smoke inhaled is high and also when passive smoking occured within 7 to 10 days of taking the test.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
