Best Answer

It depends if you are a chronic smoker or occasional smoker. It also depends what type of testing is being done. Most tests detect a nicotine metabolite called cotinine. Cotinine has a longer half life than nicotine so physicians can identify smoking further back. Most immunoassay's can detect cotinine for 2-5 days. More sensitive assays, such as GCMS, can detect cotinine up to 7-10 days because of the lower detection limits or cut offs. Occasional smokers will clear the nicotine faster than the chronic smoker.

Oral test for nicotine?

yes, Urine testing Inexpensive strip test that detect cotinine ( nicotine metabolite) for about 2-6 days/ cutoff around 200 ng/ml. More sensitive Lab urine tests such as GCMS (cutoff 5 ng/ml ) and ion pair reversed-phase chromatography (cutoff 2 ng/ml) detect for about 7-12 days. Hair TestingNicotine and cotinine can be Lab detected in hair via GC/MS, with a detection cutoff around 2 ng/ml (nicotine). Hair tests have a much longer detection window than fluid tests up to 90 days. Saliva Testing Cotinine can be detected by quick, inexpensive saliva tests. Some saliva tests are extremely sensitive, detecting cotinine at concentrations as low as 1 ng/ml. Nicotine and cotinine can be detected in saliva with more sensitive and expensive procedures, such as HPLC. The detection window for these procedures is around 7-10 days. Blood Testing Nicotine and cotinine are detectable in the blood with laboratory testing, for about 7-12 days.
