How Long Does Nicotine Stay In The Body?

I am on lexapro and smoke about pack if lm lights 100s for about three years. I have an interview and was told they will be also checking for nicotine in screening which includes patches, gum, etc. Interview is in 5 days and figure that is when they will do testing if i get the job. I quit smoking at about 11am but put on a patch and chewing regular gum like crazy. Would it be better to take chantex?How long does nicotine stay in your system? Can i take any meds to help symptoms? Have seen increase h20 consumption, but im very nervious, gittery, and massively craving cig. Suggestions?!?!?

Hi,

Nicotine generally stays for two to three days in the human body.

If the craving is high, you can consult a physician and consider drugs like Bupropion which is quite effective in this setting.

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