Nicotine and Nicotine byproducts out of body?

HI,

I do realize that this question has been answered. I have a specific question though. People have said it takes roughly 5 days for nicotine to leave the system and a month for the byproducts of nicotine to leave the system. I haven't had a smoke in 2 weeks. I'm in a contest that tests for nicotice via urine sample after a month of being "smoke free". I plan on smoking rougly a pack this coming Saturday (St. Paddy's Day and i'm Canadian - it's a big drinking and smoking day). My question is, if i haven't smoked for 2 weeks, i then smoke a lot for one day, then stop for 14 days leading up to the end of the smoke-free month, do you think anything will show up in the results? If, for example, a nonsmoker decided to smoke for one day and then had a blood or urine test two weeks after, would anything show up in the results or would it be so miniscule it would appear to be like secondhand smoke?
cheers,

I realize that it's self-indulgence. What i want to know is the technical answer (asshat). I have it - looks liek a yes. I just can't believe that it takes a full month for all signs of smoking to be out of your system. I was more of a social smoker before and (a couple at work and when drinking) i'd usually go days without a smoke. I will quit after this day, there's more behind it. A buddy is moving and it's a last hurrah. For those of you who are wishing me success in my battle vs smoking...thanks and don't worry. i will quit.

i think it would show up as you are basically putting them chemicals back in the body

yes it will be in your system

I would think it would show up, but you havent done a smoke free month anyway if your smoking on Sat? Have a good time though

I'm not sure as far as the nicotine test goes but as someone who has struggled to quit smoking I would highly recommend that you reconsider your decision to smoke on Saturday after you have gone all of this time! It only takes 1 cigarette to restart the physical nicotine cravings!

Good Luck!!

No! Nicotine is usually out of your system in two days - that's why the cravings are so bad - it's in your mind!!!! After 5 days the craving should have passed.. it will be out of your system!

BUT - why the hell are you going to start again just for St.Patricks day - leave it out - Not worth it and no one will think any less of you for saying ' I'VE QUIT' -

It'll show. Anything you put in your body will show on a test for it if that test is taken before the wear-out time expires.

A good example is if you eat 2 large (3 regular sized) poppy seed muffins, you'd fail a heroin test (opiates in the poppy seeds)

If you took a drink after not drinking for 2 weeks, would it show in your blood test and urine?
Duh!

what a stupid question (st paddy's day? canadian?) so what. what has that got to do with anything? self indulgence is no excuse.

R u not missing the fags AT ALL? i stopped smoking and found it so difficult to get thru the 1st few days that i wldnt go thru that again for love nor money.

I know u just wanted the medical facts - i always thought it was 30 hours for the nicotine pangs to stop - but the gases in the lungs and bloodstream were much longer - you're better off to go to a medical site for the low down facts , but on a personal level, either stopping smoking came very easily to you, otherwise you wldnt be putting yrself thru it again for the sake of one day - or you r still addicted but just making up xcuses so that u can have a pack of fags - only YOU know the answer * *
