A member asked:

Will smokeless nicotine show up in nicotine swab tests?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: the swab test will detect the nicotine (or cotinine, its main metabolite) that is excreted in saliva, as well as that which comes directly in touch with oral mucosa if you are using snuff or chewing tobacco.
