A member asked:
How long would nicotine stay in your body after one puff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably one day whi: Probably one day, which is a guess (24 hrs.) it's half life is 2 hrs, and it is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys into the urine. In a heavy smoker there be a higher plasma nicotine concentration and it may take 2 days. This is an educated guess.
