The presence of nicotine in the body can be seen through the detection of cotinine, the major metabolite of nicotine in human urine and blood and can be detected 7-21 days depending on usage.

However, there are several other potential sources of cotinine in urine, for example, exposure to secondhand smoke, the use of NRT, exposure to nicotinic pesticide (approved for organic farming!) and consumption of other members of the same family of plants as tobacco - potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and aubergines (eggplants).

Private companies offer other tests claimed to detect the metabolites of other chemicals present only in the tobacco used in cigarettes!

yes, for approximately 72 hours
well, maybe not nicotine specifically, but its metabolite cotinine does for 3 days or more after your last cigarette and probably more after your last pinch from a tin, since chewing and dipping tobacco have much higher concentrates of nicotine for the average person.

Yes, some companies drug test for cotinine and nicotine to see if they will be a burdon on their health care system. Oh well, hope that answers your question.

No it does not. Due to the fact that nicotine gum contains a similar, but not the same, drug as tobacco. It is a therapeutic chemical called Nicotine Polacrilex.

Will nicorette gum show up in blood tests?

Well, since the active ingredient in nicorette gum is the same as in cigarrettes (nicotine, though in lower levels for the gum) I would imagine yes. And the fact that it does come into contact with saliva which goes to the stomach, that's one point that can prove that.

How does nicotine gum help people give up smoking?

People are addicted to smoking because they are addicted to the nicotine in the cigarettes. Nicotine gum helps you give up smoking because the gum contains nicotine. When you chew the gum, the nicotine is absorbed through your mouth. This gives you a nicotine fix that will help reduce withdrawal symptoms when you quit smoking.

Does nicorette gum cause gum disease?

Nicorette gum contains nicotine, the addictive ingredient in cigarettes. While nicotine does not 'cause' gum disease, it has been shown to contribute to the severity of the disease. Nicotine is toxic to cells called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that create and rebuild connective tissue in the body. Connective tissue is destroyed in gum disease, and when fibroblast function is impaired by nicotine, the body's ability to fight off the disease is significantly limited. Therefore, gum disease generally tends to be more severe in people who ingest or inhale nicotine.


What kind a smoking test you are given to see if your not smoking I'm having and the doctor wants to make sure i quit smoking?

Probably a urine test looking for nicotine. Hair test can show long term usage but are expensive. Blood tests can't usually show past 2 days so they generally aren't used either. Urine tests are cheap and can still show a decent timeframe for usage. Nicotine stays around for awhile depending on how often you smoke. If you are still a daily smoker, it could take up to 20 days (or more). If you only smoke every now and then, 3-4 days. Again, this depends on your nicotine consumption. Drinking water can aide in the removal of it in your body. There are products on the market that can fool urine tests either by using fake urine or by adding something to yours. These things can be found depending on how indepth the test is run. If your doctor wants you to quit smoking but the nicotine withdraw is too much, smokeless tobacco such as dip or snus (or using patches/gum to break the nicotine addiction) can help although quitting entirely would be the best for your health. Your doctor may test your lung capacity which is something that can only get better over time, there isn't a way to fool him on that. He may test you with a machine or with a simple, plastic hand held device that you would blow into at a certain pressure for as long as possible. Your doctor does have the best intentions for you so listen to them when they tell you to quit something.
