That depends on the: Amount & duration you smoked, how deeply you inhaled, whether the cigarettes were mentholated, your genetic set-up for the enzymes in your liver that metabolize nicotine, & whether you're a passive smoker at home or work. You may still have low-moderate amounts of cotinine in your urine.

How heavy & long was: use? “When someone stops using tobacco & nicotine products, it can take more than 2 weeks for the blood level of cotinine to drop to the level that a non-tobacco user would have & several weeks more for the urine level to decrease to a very low concentration.” REF: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/nicotine/tab/test/
