How long can nicotine be detected?

ByCassieeeee February 10, 2025February 17, 2025

So, I have a doctor's appointment in three weeks. I have to get checked every six months because I have a growth disorder. Normally, they just take blood tests. But my dad has now signed me up for a study that also needs a urine sample from me. And now I wanted to ask how long you can see the nicotine in your urine. Because online, it sometimes says you can only see it for four days, but sometimes it says up to three weeks. And I also wanted to ask if the doctors would tell me if they found nicotine in me. Or is there something like doctor-patient confidentiality?

if the doctors say it when they find nicotine in me

If something like that goes around your head, you should leave the fingers of products you’re not old enough for. (Otherwise, you wouldn’t be interested!)

Or is there something like a medical confidentiality?

For minors, doctors need the consent of the guardians for any treatment/investigation. And this also results in a right of information for parents!

And already we are back at the point -> leave the fingers of products for which you are not old enough. Obviously, you are not even mature enough to take responsibility for your actions and want to bear the resulting consequences.

nicotine only a few hours, but its degradation products a few days.

And yes, as was written here… As your guardian, your parents will of course receive all relevant information.

As far as I know (this applies to all drug tests) one has to look for nicotine practically in these tests to see it. It is tested not everything in blood/Urin tests, but only the things that doctors want to know. And even if you see this I doubt very much that was interested and so I wouldn’t worry
