You should: Tell them up front, if it will not disqualify you, that you wanted this job so much you discontinued your smokeless tobacco 8 weeks ago. Cotinine is usually out of the system after a week or less. Congratulations on smoking cessation.

Most likely: “When someone stops using tobacco & nicotine products, it can take more than 2 weeks for the blood level of cotinine to drop to the level that a non-tobacco user would have & several weeks more for the urine level to decrease to a very low concentration.” REF: http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/nicotine/tab/test/
