A member asked:
I am a very occasional smoker. saturday i had 5 cigarettes. none sunday and one at 7am monday. monday afternoon at 2pm i had a cotinine test. will i pass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably won't pass: “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
