I’ve been an on-and-off, primarily social smoker for four years. (At my worst I smoke 1/2 pack in one day). My parents are renewing a life insurance policy they have on me and I have a blood and urine test next Monday. I don’t do any illegal drugs but I believe they’re testing for nicotine too. I had a few cigs at the bar last night and threw the rest out. If I don’t smoke before Monday, will I be all right? Any detox tips? What if I’m around second-hand smoke in the meantime?
FYI, I’m 25 and a grad student so ya’ll can save me the lectures, and I’m getting too old to care if I look cool. The question wasn’t “what is everyone’s opinion on smoking?”, now was it?
Hmm, three answers so far and nobody’s answered the actual question I asked…. I’m not asking how to quit. I just did. Cold turkey. If I use nicotine patches or gum, I will test positive for nicotine. THAT NICOTINE TEST is what I’m asking about, and if I have a good chance of passing it. Nothing else. Thanks.

I have been a smoker for about 5 years now, and I want to quit. Is there any method’s you ex-smokers used to help you quit? I heard sunflower seeds work! I don’t really want to use the patch or anything like that though. Thank you for your time and help!

I need to stop smoking. I got addicted and didn’t think I would. It ***** and I **** them, but I cannot stop. Don’t even say cold turkey…

Quitting smoking is one of the most evil things one can subject themselves to. Should President Empty Suit© be required by law to keep smoking?

Do you think he really quit or sneaks cigarettes out of the camera’s view?
Does this make him an appeaser?
