There are both blood and urine tests available here in the US.

Mine was done by blood

So do they test you for nicotine at the pre op visit or right before your actual surgery

I am being tested right before surgery. It will be a urine test.

I quit 8 years ago using ecigs. I am still using my ecigs just with zero nicotine. I will have to completely give vaping up before surgery as the suction required to vape is not allowed post op.

They didn't tell me I had to quit...they said I should....so idk but I stopped, surgery planned for Monday the 8th

I had to test at my consultation and will test again at my pre-op appointment. I was told it was required to have been quit for at least 6 weeks. If not they would not do the surgery because of the risks it would pose (ulcers and extremely slow healing).

How did your surgery go

My surgeon gave me a handout that said have to quit 30 days before surgery or the surgeon will not operate

I just read for heavy smokers it will show in urine 2-3 weeks after you quit.

I was a heavy smoker and quit for 9 years. Started again due to a very stressful event and quit 6 weeks before surgery. It's hard but I feel the benefits already x
