What Are The Chances Of Passing The Nicotine Test?

Hello, I recently quit smoking about 2 weeks ago, and have a pre-employment screening and nicotine test comming up for a new job next week. I was a moderate smoker (half a pack per day). What are my chances of passing the cotinine (nicotine) test?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Nicotine stays in the body for 48 hours.
Since you have already quit smoking since 2 weeks (more than 48 hours), you will mostly pass nicotine test without any trouble.
Better not to restart smoking as it is very bad for health.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
