Hi everyone. I'm Gami from Michigan I and stressing out about the test for nicotine. I was a almost 1 pack a day smoker and quit on 12/9. I got some of the home tests online but still have not passed it. They pushed me back another month cause I gained some weight in November so at my appointment on 12/17 I lost 11lbs which was cool but I am feeling like I am never going to pass this urine test. [emoji24] I have done 2 urine tests and they came back positive. The RN said they would test me again next Monday 1/6 which I will be like 28 days smoke free. I am very happy about that but still very frustrated. Any words of advice. Please and thank you. 2020 is going to be my time to shine. Looking very forward to what's a head of me.

I was a smoker. My doctor didn't have a nicotine test thank goodness. My last cigarette was the night before my surgery. ? I will be thinking good thoughts for you. Whatever happens is supposed to hang in there! Quitting smoking on top of all this is a huge struggle. You got this!

You said a urine test for nicotine? The nicotine test for cotinine Usually shows positive for 3 weeks from your last indigestion of nicotine. Very important your not smoking for the healing your body has to do eternally. Smoking slows the healing down tremendously.

After years of poisoning your body it will take a while to clear up your system

Not true. I quit after a 37 year habit. Took mic test about 30 days later and passed.

nicotine is an addictive substance so I guess you could say we were poisoning our body much like most here were doing it with food
