Nicotine test question

Told the nurse that I smoke maybe half a cigarette every few days. She said that it would still take a month of not smoking to get a negative nicotine test.

She said it doesn't matter how much you smoke.

I have a hard time believing that. From what I'm reading online it would only be two weeks.

Does anyone know?

I'm guessing researching the GoogleVerse will be your best bet. But I just have to ask ...

Have you sat back and read your post? I'm not judging, as I am an ex-smoker myself, so I understand the draw, but to boil it down, your post reads like, "How long can I continue this bad behavior and still get away with it?"

I can only guess you are looking to get sleeved so you can be healthier, right?

Let's start now.

Ha I didn't think of that. No it's that they won't set a date until we have a negative test so I want to get the test done as soon as I can. I quit yesterday. :)

Congrats!

I would recommend staying away from second hand smoke as well. As I understand it, even that can be detected. Start drinking Water like a crazy person to get your system flushed. Make sure your pee is clear. My guess is you would be clear in a few days.
