Does nicotine show up in your drug tests if you chew nicorette (nicotine gum)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: The breakdown product of nicotine is called cotinine and it will show up in tests on your urine. It doesn't matter how you absorb nicotine, by patch, gum, snuff, chewing tobacco, inhaler, or smoking- it will show up on urine tests.
