A member asked:
Do nicotine gum and cinnamon candy affect the outcome of an oral swab drug test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nicotine maybe,: cinnamon no. If the oral swab test is looking for cigarette smoking, it measures either nicotine or its major metabolite cotinine (more commonly) and this will be found also in someone using nicotine gum. If they are looking for drugs of abuse, generally nicotine/cotinine are not tested for and will not alter the outcome.
