Question 1

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.

Question 2

cotitine test: long time chewing tobacco user. have a urine cotitine test coming up for a new job. currently 5 days completely nicotine free and another 5-7 days until my test. good chances of passing or not?

Accepted Answer

: Should be out of your system in 7 days. I would strongly recommend quitting in the future though. It’s difficult but oral cancer is not fun.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

how long do you have to go without smoking or chewing tobacco to pass a tobacco swab screening test?

Accepted Answer

To be sure, at least: a week.  Generally oral swabs will pick up any tobacco use within 3-5 days.  I strongly suggest using that as a head start to complete cessation.  Failing a cotinine screen (the metabolite of nicotine is what is actually measured) is nowhere near as bad as lung cancer, throat or mouth cancer, emphysema, heart attack or stroke, all of which are potentially waiting for you out there if you continue.

Question 6

how long does it take for nicotine from chewing tobacco to be completely flushed from your system so that it cannot be detected? i need to take a nicotine test for a job and i need to know how far in advance i need to quit the stuff.

Accepted Answer

It : It depends on whether the nicotine test is a urine test, blood test or hair follicle test and how much you smoke.  For most people, a urine test takes 2-4 days to be clear, a blood test takes 7-10 days and a hair follicle test takes much longer, but is not usually used due to expense.  If you are a heavy smoker, it may take longer for the nicotine to clear from your system (up to a week for the urine test and a couple weeks for the blood test).  Smoking menthol cigarettes may also cause the test to remain positive longer than regular cigarettes or chewing tobacco.  Of course, the sooner you quit, the better it is for your health.  Below i've linked a number of web resources to help you quit smoking.  Good luck!

Question 7

can cotton wool spots be caused by strong nicotine? eg chewing tobacco? no hypertension, no diabetes, stress test good!!...

Accepted Answer

Cotton wool spots: Without seeing you cannot evaluate "cotton wool spots." Know that tobacco in any form, smoked or chewed, can cause pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue break-down. The stronger the nicotine, the higher the risk. Any lesion that has not fully self healed in 2 weeks must be investigated. Know that time is not on your side, go see a Dentist, an Oral Surgeon, or an ENT immediately.

Question 9

can you let me know how many children and adults die per year in the u.s by smoking or chewing tobacco?

Accepted Answer

443 000/ yr: 443000 which includes second hand smoking.

Question 10

need to know is tobacco free chewing tobacco safe?

Accepted Answer

Probably, but ??: If it doesn't contain tobacco, it is undoubtedly safer in terms of not producing nicotine addiction and less likelihood of mouth and throat cancer. However, the ingredients in these things are trade secrets, and nobody really knows everything that is in them other than the manufacturer, and they don't have to tell usually. Look for ingredients on label and look each of them up.
