Question 1

No: Blood in the stool (red, bloody bowel movement) is not caused by chewing tobacco. It requires a medical evaluation. Please see your health care professional.

Accepted Answer

LEUKOPLAKIA: LEUKOPLAKIA, THICKENED WHITISH PATCHES IN THE MOUTH,  IS OFTEN DIAGNOSED BY YOUR DENTIST.
THIS DISORDER MANIFESTS ITSELF ON THE GUMS, INSIDE OF THE CHEEKS, TONGUE, BOTTOM OF THE MOUTH.
OCCURS IN PEOPLE WHO CHEW TOBACCO AND IN PEOPLE WHO DRINK A LOT OF ALCOHOL.
THIS IS A PRECANCEROUS CONDITION AND IF YOU SUSPECT YOU HAVE IT, YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DENTIST OR YOUR DERMATOLOGIST SOON.

Question 3

how long does it take for tobacco use not to show on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Variable 7-10 days: The half life of nicotine metabolite, cotinine, is, on average 16 hours, but there are many factors affecting the blood level. A safe interval would be about 7 days. Note that urine may test positive even longer. See this site for more info.

Question 4

hownlong does alcohol and tobacco stay in the body for a cbc blood test and a normal urine test?

Accepted Answer

No matter: Normal urine test and CBC testing would be unaffected by alcohol/nicotine content.  Furthermore, they will not show up on these tests. If you are being tested for alcohol or nicotine, then that is a different answer.

Question 5

im scheduled to have surgery  in 35 days and was suppose to quit smoking for 90 days. ive been tobacco free for7 days now . will i fail a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry: Drink lots of water every day (8-10 glasses), get Vitamin C (fruit) and be active. Avoid passive smoke. Blood clears faster than hair, but slower than urine and there are false positive reasons you could fail. But you'll probably pass if you don't slip before the surgery. Anyway - it's too late to worry. Do your best. The reason is for optimal healing - important but not critical. Relax.

Question 6

is cotinine detected in blood or just urine? i have a blood test for tobacco in 4 days. i stopped smoking last night.  averaged 5 to 7 cigs a day.

Accepted Answer

See below: Cotinine may be tested in blood, urine and saliva. It is good that you stopped using tobacco for the test. It will be a very good idea to not start smoking or using tobacco again. Five days is usually sufficient to clear out nicotine. See this site for more info:

Question 7

i have to take a blood test for health insurance because im marked as a tobacco user when im not. i do smoke marijuana almost everyday. i have to take the test so they can remove tobacco use. will thc show up in the test? im just nervous because the test

Accepted Answer

Ask them: you cannot be tested for recreational drug use when it may be used against you without your consent, inmost places

Question 8

will one dip of chewing tobacco the day before a drug test show up?

Accepted Answer

I'll guess "yes": I've heard it said that it does - even for a long, long (40 day time). So, even if that's an exaggeration - one day is not likely to be safe. Hopefully it won't cost you too much - if it does, hopefully you've learned a lesson. Best wishes. Good luck.

Question 9

does chewing tobacco help you pass a saliva drug test?

Accepted Answer

Drug test: No it does not, and i would not try it either.

Question 10

i took a urine cotinine test this morning for pre employment and i stopped chewing tobacco 11 days ago, will i pass? i'm done with nicotine.

Accepted Answer

Pee test 4 nicotine: I took a urine cotinine test this morning for pre employment and I stopped chewing tobacco 11 days ago, will I pass? I'm done with nicotine. ANS: Good judgement on stopping. Depends on which test they use and how much had been stored in your body. So let us know. If + tell them that you want to be retested as it may have been the chewing. Suspect they are most interested in smoking.
