Depends what biomark: er is used in the saliva test. If nicotine is used, it's shorter. But if cotinine is used it can stay in your blood for up to 10 days. Of course, recent usage, and how long you've been smoking historically can impact this too, but you may want to find out what specific test is being used first?
