A member asked:
If i smoked one cigarette and have a medical exam for insurance in 8 days will the cotinine still be present?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What is being tested: “If you smoke infrequently, cotinine will usually be present in your urine for about four days. With regular exposure to nicotine, cotinine may be detectable for up to three weeks after your last exposure.” REF: https://www.healthline.com/health/quit-smoking/how-long-does-nicotine-stay-in-your-system#nicotine-inurine
