Nicotine testing??????

hey whats up i had one cig today and two cigs two days ago and that was my first in like two months or so well my mom found matches in my pocket and is going to give me a nicotine test here this week and i want to know how many days it takes to get out of your system cause for one ive heard that is one for a piss test and there is one for a saliva test but yeah let me know thanks later i need to know NOW

Nicotine only stays in your bloodstream for a few days, but that is not what they are checking for in a blood / urine test.

They test for cotinine. About 80 percent of nicotine is broken down to cotinine by enzymes in your liver. Cotinine can stay in your bloodstream for 6 to 8 MONTHS!!!!

If you want a clean test, I would recommend going to a health food store and finding products that will clean out your blood. The liquid one shots will work by making you urinate frequently. You can also get the ones that are at least a week taking daily pills, even though they are expensive.

After the test, cotinine and nicotine will get back into your bloodstream from fat being burned that held the nicotine. So you won't be clean for ever.

Oh, and you should have said that you and your friends were lighting fireworks.

Just tell her you were smoking.

Tell her that honesty is the best policy and that you were smoking, but you know that there's no such thing as a nicotine test and that you are disappointed in her for trying to dupe you.

24-36 hours... quit smoking! If you're momma is finding matches in your pocket then you're too young to pick up such a bad habit, move out, pay the rent then choke yourself with tar and carcinogens

Does your mother work for an insurance company? Because no doctor or ER will do a nicotine test for her. Insurance reps (as in life insurance) are the only ones who can get that test done. Anyone who is in a room where people are smoking can test positive for nicotine... and keep in mind it can show up for up to 6 months.

Your busted. You might as well tell the truth. There is a test that checks you up to 4 days later & your Mom can get it cheap. Blood tests can detect it up to a month. Either way, stop lieing to your Mom & just tell the truth that you screwed up.

Nicotine moves right into the small blood vessels that line the tissues listed above. From there, nicotine travels through your bloodstream to the brain, and then is delivered to the rest of your body.

The most common (and the most expedient way) to get nicotine and other drugs into your bloodstream is through inhalation -- by smoking it. Your lungs are lined by millions of alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. These alveoli provide an enormous surface area -- 90 times greater than that of your skin -- and thus provide ample access for nicotine and other compounds. Once in your bloodstream, nicotine flows almost immediately to your brain. Although nicotine takes a lot of different actions throughout your body, what it does in the brain is responsible for both the good feelings you get from smoking, as well as the irritability you feel if you try to quit (see the section on addiction and withdrawal for details). Within 10 to 15 seconds of inhaling, most smokers are in the throes of nicotine's effects.

Nicotine doesn't stick around your body for too long. It has a half-life of about 60 minutes, meaning that six hours after a cigarette, only about 0.031 mg of the 1 mg of nicotine you inhaled remains in your body.

How does your body get rid of nicotine? Here's the process:

* About 80 percent of nicotine is broken down to cotinine by enzymes in your liver.

* Nicotine is also metabolized in your lungs to cotinine and nicotine oxide.

* Cotinine and other metabolites are excreted in your urine. Cotinine has a 24-hour half-life, so you can test whether or not someone has been smoking in the past day or two by screening his or her urine for cotinine.

* The remaining nicotine is filtered from the blood by your kidneys and excreted in the urine.

Different people metabolize nicotine at different rates. Some people even have a genetic defect in the enzymes in their liver that break down nicotine, whereby the mutant enzyme is much less effective at metabolizing nicotine than the normal variant. If a person has this gene, their blood and brain nicotine levels stay higher for longer after smoking a cigarette. Normally, people keep smoking cigarettes throughout the day to maintain a steady level of nicotine in their bodies. Smokers with this gene usually end up smoking many fewer cigarettes, because they don't constantly need more nicotine.
