Nicotine is a short-acting drug that is eliminated from the body relatively quickly (i.e., within a day or so). However, the effects of acute nicotine withdrawal can be felt for as much as two weeks or more. In addition, the byproducts of nicotine can be detected in the blood for up to a month after you stop smoking. This is only of concern if you are in a situation where someone else might want to test you for the presence of nicotine or nicotine byproducts in your system.
Most people can quit "cold turkey" without any ill effects other than feeling irritable, restless, and craving cigarettes. However, if you have any medical condition for which you are (or should be) receiving treatment, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first. He or she can also support your efforts to quit and discuss nicotine replacement options if you choose to slowly wean yourself off nicotine.

Actually the length of time nicotine stays in the urine depends on how heavy a smoker you are. If you are a chronic smoker two weeks or more. If you do not smoke regularly it is possible that a urine test will only detect nicotine for a few days after your last cigarette. Blood tests are more sensitive and will detect nicotine weeks after quitting smoking. These are the tests that insurance companies will usually chose to test applicants for life insurance policies.
My friend is home on leave from the military and she started smoking while she is here, but she is not supposed to be. They will drug test her when she returns, and we were trying to figure out when she would need to quit so that it would not show up in her test?
NICOTINE IS NOT A DRUG..... no she is fine.,.it wont show up
I went on line and purchased a detox kit. I haven't smoked for about 6 weeks. I have an exam scheduled for next week. Has anyone tried those detox kits? Do they really work? Or what do I have to do to make sure that nicotine is not in my system. I believe that I will have blood drawn and a urine test done that night.
The life insurance is obviously not for me I will be dead when it is collected and FYI I do not plan on smoking ever again... And have no plans on dieing anytime soon either. For a smoker it is more than double a non smoker rate. Again I vow to NEVER smoke again...
I agree completely with "domers." I know you're not planning to die -- no one does unless they commit suicide -- but if you die within the first two years of the policy, the insurer will probably find out from your personal physician that you used to be a smoker. If the application asks whether you have "ever" smoked, or if you've smoked within the past year or so, and you lie, the insurer WILL rescind the policy. Your beneficiary will receive nothing and the premiums paid will go to your estate.
Long after the cotinine (the by-product of nicotine) disappears from your blood and urine, the effects of your years of smoking does increase your mortality rate. A higher premium is fair, given what your body has gone through.
So don't chance it. Fess up to being an ex-smoker, pay the higher rate and after you're smoke-free for whatever period of time the company requires, ask for a premium reduction.
I was rated as a smoker in an insurance blood / urine test a year ago - I was not a smoker then and am not now.

Toată bula aia, Woodstock… sigur că se petrecu’ pe proprietatea cuiva…95% din ăia cu curu’ gol atunci au cumpărat/schimbat măcar vreo 3 mașini pân’acu’, ș’au purtat cravată degeaba’n fiecare zi de lucru din ultimii 20 ani…
apoi tot cu bula aia au cules câteva generații de școliți public din est să lucreze pt. mofturile lor de hippies deveniți yuppies, apoi i’a'mbrobodit pe neșcoliții sau apaticii sau neatenții rămași în țările alea să plătească pt. asta, așa încât primii prostovani să nu mai aibă loc de’ntors…
apoi, că s’a dus comunismu’ oleacă mai devreme decât capitalismu’, după ce au mai fumat, drogat și băut vreo 30 ani, timp în care ș’au mutat poluarea’n China, yippiiies ăștia au dat legea “vreau să mor încet”: “fumatu’ interzis la mai puțin de 25 fuți de clădiri”.
