A member asked:
How long does nicotine stay in your system so that it will be undetected by a saliva test?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
7-10 days: Different tests have different sensitivities but nicotine in saliva falls in this range.

Approx 72 hrs: I believe it clears the system in approximately 72 hours, usually detected by a blood or urine test. If this is being asked to "get around" insurance questions, i take exception to not being honest.
