Chantix won't show.: Chantix is an entirely different chemical that is prescribed to aid in smoking or tobacco use cessation. The chemicals nicotine and the metabolite of nicotine known as continine should only be found in the event of active tobacco use. Continine can remain in the system even after nicotine has cleared out, how long it persists in the body depends upon how much tobacco is used and for how long.

Continine test: Hi, if you are past the smoking stage on chantix and have been off nicotine for a couple weeks, then your nicotine test should be negative. Chantix contains verenicline, which can act like nicotine but is not picked up on a nicotine test. Hope that helps
