I stopped smoking 6 days a go and need to take a nicoten urine test for work on feb 8 th will my urin be clean by then ?

Should be: Cotinine, the by-product of nicotine which is found in the urine, is relatively short-acting. However, it depends on how heavy a smoker you were to some extent. However, even in a heavy smoker, in 2 weeks there should be no detectable amounts. Congratulations on quitting (for any reason) and hope you stay quit as well. The most important reason to quit is not employment, but your own health!
