Does Cigarette Tobacco/Nicotine show in a blood test ?

tobacco cigarette Add comments

I have been smoking one cigarette a morning for about 4 mornings now. I was just wondering, Does it come up in a blood test?
I have a test this morning.

Yes and no. Cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, is present in your blood and can be detected for up to about a week after your last cigarette.

But unless they test for it specifically, nothing will show up.

    it does, the nicotine would show up, but it really depends on what kind of blood test, if it’s a tox screen it would show up but if its anything else u’ll be fine.
    Nasty habit though, i tried it and like it, but it made my mouth feel like an ashtray so i stopped.

    Traces of most things you take into your body will be found in your blood since that is a way if feeds itself on what you consume and inhale.
