New to site, Nicotine test



Recommended Posts

Hey my name is Stephen, I had my first doctors appointment on the 28th and was informed that I have to do a 3 month diet and that my insurance states I need to be nicotine free for 6 months. I quit smoking cigs in October of last year and started vaping at 3mg of nic. I have been off that for the last month or so, so when they do the nicotine test in the next month or so will I pass if im 2 or 3 months nicotine free? thanks

You should be fine. Quick search shows that it Nicotine leaves the blood within 3 days, Cotinine after 10. Both are undetectable in urine after 4 days (some sites say upwards of 20 days). Saliva tests should be clear after 4 days. hair however can be upwards of 3 months. So, you *SHOULD* be safe at this point. Just be sure to up your Water intake to more than 64oz of water (upwards of 128k) now to help flush everything out (and to prep you for your post surgical requirements.

I had a urine test for nicotine and was told to wait 4 weeks to test after the last time I smoked. Good luck!

Was told I had to have these even though I quit smoking two years ago and have never had one in the three months I have seeing my doctor

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
