Nicotine Addiction: I understand your need to pass swab Test for Nicotine. Cotinine remains in the bloodstream for up to a week and indicates that you are a recent cigarette smoker. Ask yourself: Reasons to smoke, reasons to continue, even knowing the risks, effect of 2nd hand smoke on your loved ones. Thinking “I am hoping” indicates being victim of your impulses, craving and Addiction. See a Psychiatrist.
