A member asked:

Hi i have to take a pee test for nicotine for work i stopped smoking 4 days ago and y test is on the 8 th of feb should i be ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cotinine: The chemical tested for is cotinine. It takes minimum of four days to clear from urine or blood. You should be safe. The best advice i can give you though is to not start up again after the test.
