The chemicals nicotine and the metabolite of nicotine known as continine should only be found in the event of active tobacco use. Continine can remain in the system even after nicotine has cleared out, how long it persists in the body depends upon how much tobacco is used and for how long.

will nicotine show up in a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If they are specifically testing for it.  Cotinine, the main metabolite of nicotine, is generally tested for in urine, where it is present in larger amounts than in blood and is easier to find.  However, it can be detected in blood as well.  If you are a smoker, the easiest way to "beat" the test is to stop smoking!  please consider stopping and getting help doing it if you need to.
