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.
