Depends: Nicotine can stay in your system from as little as 3-4 days, up to 3 weeks. It also depends on what you are smoking...If it is marijuana, thats a different story...

A few weeks: Depending on what you are smoking...Wait at least 4-6 weeks to be safe. But honestly...Urine and saliva tests are the say ones to pass. The deal breaker could be a hair analysis. That is getting to be more common and more reliable about a person's past.
