Hey my name is Stephen, I had my first doctors appointment on the 28th and was informed that I have to do a 3 month diet and that my insurance states I need to be nicotine free for 6 months. I quit smoking cigs in October of last year and started vaping at 3mg of nic. I have been off that for the last month or so, so when they do the nicotine test in the next month or so will I pass if im 2 or 3 months nicotine free? thanks

You should be fine. Quick search shows that it Nicotine leaves the blood within 3 days, Cotinine after 10. Both are undetectable in urine after 4 days (some sites say upwards of 20 days). Saliva tests should be clear after 4 days. Hair however can be upwards of 3 months. So, you *SHOULD* be safe at this point. Just be sure to up your water intake to more than 64oz of water (upwards of 128k) now to help flush everything out (and to prep you for your post surgical requirements.

ok thanks for the help I am pretty sure its a saliva test so should be ok

I had a urine test for nicotine and was told to wait 4 weeks to test after the last time I smoked. Good luck!

Was told I had to have these even though I quit smoking two years ago and have never had one in the three months I have seeing my doctor
