Yes: Don't smoke. Best way to not have nicotine in your blood is to not put any there. Talk to your docotor to get help stopping.

Possibly. : What is your usage? “When someone stops using tobacco and nicotine products, it can take more than two weeks for the blood level of cotinine to drop to the level that a non-tobacco user would have and several weeks more for the urine level to decrease to a very low concentration.” REF: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/nicotine/tab/test/
