I believe that it is 21 days. Most people recommend that you be at least a month smoke free before you take a test.

Traces of cotinine (the byproduct of nicotine which shows up in blood tests) remain for three to four weeks. No test result will show a complete zero, and a trace amount is allowed, simply because spending a night in a smoke filled bar will raise the level of a non-smoker above zero.
However, the test result will clearly show whether you were exposed to second hand smoke or used tobacco directly.

strains of cotinine (the byproduct of nicotine which exhibits up in blood assessments) stay for 3 to 4 weeks. No attempt result will teach an entire 0, and a hint volume is permitted, because of the fact spending a nighttime in a smoke crammed bar will enhance the point of a non-smoker above 0. even though, the attempt result will needless to say teach in spite of in case you have been uncovered to 2nd hand smoke or used tobacco promptly.

Longer than you can go without your next fix.
Seriously, depending on the type of tobacco you use, you might be able to get non-smoker rates for life insurance and still test positive for nicotine. You just need to make sure you get the right company for your circumstances.

It will also show up in your urine.
A word of Advise;
I am not sure what type of insurance you are trying to take out. Most likely life insurance, but if you are a chronic smoker you do not want to lie on the application. If by chance something happens they can actually contest the death benefit. B/c of fraud. Then the beneficiary only gets the premiums paid plus interest.

Depending on the type of product you are applying for (this includes first time and rate changes) you need to be tobacco free (not just cigarettes) for 2-3 years to get a qualified "non-tobacco" rate.
