Question 1

does nicotine gum hurt liver?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine gum: Nicotine gum can constrict blood vessels, and long-term use has been associated with gum disease, although rare.

Question 2

can nicotine chewing gum damage your liver?  is milk thistle pills with cholin, completely safe to take for liver health?

Accepted Answer

Rather safe: Nicotine isn't a particularly concerning chemical in liver disease.  If you have to choose your "ills" nicotine gum is safer than smoking cigarettes. Milk thistle, which is often combined with choline, is also relatively well tolerated.  It does have some side effects mostly benign gastrointestinal upset(which even a sugar pill can cause).If you don't have liver disease is less clear of a benefit

Question 3

can 'vaping' (e-cigerettes) with nicotine in a propylene glycol solution cause elevated liver enzymes. not sure if nicotine has an effect on liver? ty

Accepted Answer

No: Nicotine has no adverse effect upon the liver unless you had a major overdose which only happens with the administration of large doses of nicotine. These doses cannot be met by smoking or vaping. Propylene glycol won't cause problems either. I would worry about chronic lung damage and nicotine addiction. If your liver enzymes are elevated, your doctor needs to find out the reason.

Question 4

i just had a blood test for vitamin, iron levels and kidney and liver. i smoked 2% nicotine yesterday in the after noon and i wanted to know if the nicotine will show up in the blood test?

Accepted Answer

: Blood testing is specific to what they are looking for. Each target of testing adds equipment cost and technician time. There are no universal blood tests that tell everything in it. That said, the time for a simple nicotine exposure to be gone from the blood is around 8 hours. Chances are they would not test for nicotine and if it was done 8 hours after intake they would not find it anyway.

Question 5

got heartburn and vomit suddenly of both alcohole and snus/nicotine. sudden intoleranse, after i had burning pain in upper abdomen. before the burning pain i never had any problems. can liver, gallbladder or pancreatic disease cause this?

Accepted Answer

: This is more characteristic of irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining ( gastritis). If you weren't experiencing upper abdominal distress leading up to this episode your symptoms may be short-lived. Abstain from alcohol,nicotine, excess caffeine, spicy foods &amp; take omeprazole or famotidine for a week. If symptoms don't resolve, consult your physician or a gastroenterologist for evaluation.

Question 6

does nicotine / continine from smokeless tobacco stay in system longer than cigarette nicotine / continine?

Accepted Answer

Drug metabolism: The same drug levels obtained via smokeless or smoking would be metabolized by the body at a similar rate. Differences in absorption and thus dosage may influence how long drug levels persist. Also, the mixture of drug and other metabolites may influence how long they persist. Tobacco companies have not released the dose-response data to compare these readily.

Question 7

what would happens if i leave on the nicotine patch for longer than 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

Slow growth is good: The patch replaces the nicotine from smoking.  The nicotine is mostly absorbed through the skin in 24 hours, so after that time very little nicotine is available.  One day at a time works best.  If you wean off very gently, and use mutual support, you may find that recovery is possible.  Consider attending a meeting of nicotine anonymous.

Question 8

how long does nicotine stay in system for diptest?

Accepted Answer

2-3 days: For most smokers.  After a single exposure to tobacco smoke, cotinine can be detected in blood or urine for less than 24 hours, but in an individual smoking 1/2 pack or more per day, 2-3 days is common.  It is rarely positive after 5 days.  Hair testing can detect cotinine (main metabolite) for months, depending on  length of hair. Nicotine is very short-acting and is only present for hours.

Question 9

how do i get nicotine out of my system in 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

You can't: if you are talking about passing a urine cotinine test, at any rate.  Nicotine is rapidly metabolized, and is undetectable within a few hours of use, but its main metabolite lasts 48-72 hours, depending on how much you smoke, the nicotine content of the tobacco, and the sensitivity of the assay they are using.  There is no evidence that pushing fluids, changing urine pH or anything else works.

Question 10

how long does nicotine take to get out of your system?

Accepted Answer

After a cigarette: the average smoker with 1 MG of nicotine, after an hour or two, a trace is still left. The nicotine is metabolized in the liver and  there is nothing to interfere with the breaking down of the substance. 
The metabolite of nicotine is eliminated in the kidneys, which can be detectable in the urine for at least a week in the typical smoker. Insurance companies may test for the metabolite.
