Urine The amount of cotinine in your urine will vary depending on how frequently and how much you use nicotine. An infrequent smoker, for example, may only have detectable levels in their urine for about four days. Regular smokers may have detectable levels for as long as three weeks.
Blood Blood tests can detect nicotine as well as its metabolites including cotinine and anabasine. Nicotine itself may be present in the blood for up to three days, while cotinine may be detectable for up to 10 days
Saliva Saliva tests can also be used to detect the presence of nicotine and cotinine for up to four days after the last use. Dry mouth or excessive salivation are two issues that can sometimes pose problems with collecting a sample.
Hair As with other substances, hair follicle testing can detect the presence of nicotine for a much longer period of time. This method tends to be less common, however, because it is usually more expensive. Done at home or in a lab, the test requires the removal of a small amount of hair to be tested for repeated nicotine use over the last 90 days.
