nicotine in urine

For those unfamiliar, an e-cigarette is a vaporizer. Uses the same stuff found in fog machines, mixed with nicotine and flavoring, to simulate smoking.

You can get the mixture from several sources, many of which have "no nicotine" options.

However, since this is a fairly new invention, it isn't highly regulated. Supposedly the FDA found traces of nicotine in mixtures that were labeled as no-nicotine.

If I buy a nicotine urine test at the pharmacy, will it be able to detect nicotine in the mixtures I buy? Or will I have to use them and then pee on the test?

Silly question, but I'm no chemist.

Thanks!

They actually make nicotine urine tests now? I worked as a Lab Tech for 10 years, and never once did we get a request to test for that.

I have a urine nicotine sample in 10 days. How far in advance do I need to quit for it not to show up in my sample. My doctor will not do my spine surgery if there is nicotine in my system.

Your spine surgery comes first - it your doctor told you not to smoke, then don't smoke. The doctor told you not to smoke for a reason, likely because the nicotine may pose some threat to your successful recovery, or put you at risk for complications.

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.

I have been smoking almost every day for the past several weeks and I'm probably getting a new job soon. The job I've applied for requires a urine sample test to look for "controlled substances." Will they disqualify me for employment if they find nicotine in my urine sample? Or is it just for illegal drugs like marijuana?

For the record: yes, I know smoking is bad for me. I've only been smoking for a couple weeks and I'm working very hard to quit.

When they say "controlled substances" they mean "ILLEGAL controlled substances."

Nicotine is legal, and the test doesn't even look for it. Caffeine is also a drug but it's legal too.

I am having gastric bypass surgery 9/11 but have a nicotine test coming up 8/29 and I have started smoking again and I have a friend that is willing to let me use her urine. Do you think it will be possible to do?
thank-you for answering my question. I am a 54-year old woman that has battled weight for 33 years. The only reason I started smoking again was I recently lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer after a year long battle. I had quit for 8 months and after I buried her I started again. Yes I can follow the guidelines for the surgery . I have been through all of the testing and nutritional classes and am ready to proceed except for the nicotine problem. I had been scheduled late last year and when Mom got her death sentence I was afraid to go ahead not knowing when I would be needed to help with her last days. I may sound weak but just so everyone knows I'm not. Thank-you once again

All you would be accomplishing by the deception is creating a more dangerous situation for yourself by lying about your nicotine consumption. Gastric Bypass Surgery is a very serious procedure and I'm sure it has already been explained to you that there is a potential fatality rate that is a reality and not a fantasy. The precautionary measures taken by the surgeons is crucial not only for the success of the operation but also for your own health and recovery from the trauma of the procedure. Media and other reports of this procedure have given it the image of being a simple everyday not to worry go for it operation but the reality is that there are and have been complications resulting in severe to fatal outcomes. Get real and stop playing games. We're talking about your Life here!!!
