There are both blood and urine tests available here in the US.

So do they test you for nicotine at the pre op visit or right before your actual surgery

I am being tested right before surgery. It will be a urine test.

I quit 8 years ago using ecigs. I am still using my ecigs just with zero nicotine. I will have to completely give vaping up before surgery as the suction required to vape is not allowed post op.

I had to test at my consultation and will test again at my pre-op appointment. I was told it was required to have been quit for at least 6 weeks. If not they would not do the surgery because of the risks it would pose (ulcers and extremely slow healing).

My surgeon gave me a handout that said have to quit 30 days before surgery or the surgeon will not operate

I just read for heavy smokers it will show in urine 2-3 weeks after you quit.
