How Long Does Nicotine Stay In Your System Once You’ve Quit Smoking?
I quit smoking on Sunday night at 10pm. Today is Thursday, 4 am (I work night shift) I have not been having the dreaded nictoine withdrawl symptoms as I feared…then it hit me. Is the nicotine still in my system? And how long does it take before it gets out? I heard it was about 3 days that it took to get completely out?

How long does The Nicotine Stay in your System or Blood stream?
Officially it is 48 hours but I say 72-96 hours. That’s the thing with nicotine it acts fast but also leaves the body quickly. Some people say “If it leaves the body so quick why do we crave for months” The reason for this is becuase you have associated the feeling of anxiety with smoking and so every time you become anxious you think about smoking but think it must ne a craving for nicotine.
How long can nicotine be detected in blood or urine after quitting smoking?
The byproducts of nicotine can be detected in the blood for up to a month after you stop smoking. This is only of concern if you are in a situation where someone else might want to test you for the presence of nicotine or nicotine byproducts in your system
So if you quit smoking last Sunday; your body should be free of nicotine by today, Thursday. that would be a total of 4 days. However, there are known cases that the byproducts of nicotine could stay in your system up to a month.

I know that standard nicotine drug tests can detect usage of tobacco for up to 30 days. The test is used to determine if someone is a tobacco user or not to qualify for non-tobacco user insurance rates (lower).

Hi, I took an AMA quit smoking class and they told us the nicotine is completely out of the body in three days. The feelings of withdrawal, however, will last much longer. They told us that every time you feel that strong urge for a cigarette, tell yourself, “This feeling will pass whether I have a cigarette or not, so I won’t have one.” It really helps. And yes, drink lots of water as it keeps you hydrated, flushes your system of impurities and makes you feel better. Keep your mind busy and change your daily routine also helps. Kudos to you for quitting and Good Luck!

That’s what I heard also. 3 days in your system, and a life time in your mind.

If you really want help quitting smoking. Go to your doctor and ask for the perscription “CHANTIX”. This is the best quit-smoking drug I have seen. I know two people VERY personally who smoked for more than 25 years and both have quit VERY successfully. Both these women have tried for 3 years and have failed every time. With Chantix they have had SUPER results.
Check it out.

Yup, nicotene takes about three days to get out of your blood. However, depending on how long you have smoked, it may take several years before your body is totaly clean again. My mother in law has not smoked for 3 years now, but sometimes she still coughes up disgusting brown stuff… Hang in there!!!
