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,
-D

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

It is popularly believed that nicotine is released from the human body within 72 hours of its consumption, but the truth is far different. The various aspects of nicotine storage in the body last for weeks after the most recent consumption of nicotine. Many people wonder about how long nicotine stays in your blood. Blood harbors both nicotine and metabolites released by nicotine. Once nicotine consumption is stopped, then both nicotine levels and nicotine metabolite levels in the blood decrease, but it must be kept in mind that these levels do not disappear altogether. The simplest answer to the question of how long does it take for nicotine to leave your system is a few weeks.

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 * *

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!
