Nicotine/Cotinine: For most people, once you quit smoking, nicotine can still be detected in the bloodstream for between one and three days; however, it can still be present for up to 10 days in some people. Cotinine, nicotine's main breakdown product, can usually be detected in your body for up to three months after ingestion.
