How Long Does Nicotine Stay In The Body?

good afternoon. I am taking a pre-employment urine test for nicotine; cotinine. My test is 8 days from now and i quit smokeless tobacco this morning. If i abstain from any nicotine products until my test next Tuesday, will my urine levels be below 200 ng/ml? Thank you most kindly. nervous nurse

Hello,

The nicotine needs about three weeks to get clear from urine.Anyway the period varies depending on longevity and amount of smoking.Most probably your tests will be clear.

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