A member asked:

If u smoke ciggaretes can it show up on a urine test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lets review your que: a nictotine urine screening wound need to be ordered. It is not a usual chemical tested for in drug screens. These are used more by insurance companies when determining premium prices. Nicotine can be tested for by hair (expensive and most accurate), mouth swipe and urine. These can be positive for several weeks.
