A member asked:

I have a nicotine test tomorrow morning for a job. i have not smoked in 4 days. should i be worried that i won't pass the test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should pass: If you have a low level, claim passive smoking. That said, please forgive my frankness. You need to comply with your tobacco abstinence program. It is hard, but it is life and death. Do whatever gives you strengt to pursue it and hang in there.
