Quit smoking!: The best "detox" from nicotine and cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine) is to QUIT smoking. This is also the best thing you can do for your health. If you've tried to quit b4, & been unsuccessful, fear not -- many ex-smokers have had to have several trials at quitting. Talk to ur doc about smoking cessation & any assistive tx (ie zyban). The BEST detox from tob = quitting smoking! Good luck.

No great detoxes.: Usually can't beat cotinine testing. ^ water intake, exercise, stop use of nicotine, have a nutritious diet & consider Vitamin C supplementation.
