A member asked:

I quit menthol cigarettes 1 week ago, am approx 180lbs 38 yr old female no health history, how long until i am clear on a urine cotanine test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urine Cotaine Test: Cotaine will be present in blood tests for about 2 weeks and in urine for several weeks more. A lot depends on what level is chosen as the cutoff for positive or negative. Good for you on quitting. Keep it up.
