A member asked:

Can charcoal tablets cancel out nicotine tests?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I am aware of no evidence that this would be effective. The amount of nicotine that could be adsorbed through charcoal would be minimal, and if you were regularly consuming nicotine in tobacco products it would still be detectable in saliva, blood or urine tests for cotinine.

Dr Harte and another doctor agreed
