How long does nicotine stay in your system?

How long does nicotine stay in your system?

Almost everyone has heard about drug tests and alcohol tests, but what about nicotine tests? Testing for these does exist, and there are two kinds of tests to be done to ascertain whether you have nicotine in your system. Nicotine can be ingested through products like nicotine pouches or snus, or from being around smokers.

However, don't worry because nicotine will leave your blood after 1-3 days provided you don’t use nicotine pouches, consume any nicotine or spend any time near smokers. Three to four days after quitting nicotine, you won't detect nicotine in your urine.

 If for whatever reason you need to get rid of nicotine even faster, there are ways to speed up the process.

1. Keep hydrated (cut out juices and fizzy drinks), and allow nicotine excretion through your urine.

2. Do some exercise and sweat that nicotine out. Exercise also speeds up your metabolism, which means you burn nicotine faster.

3. Try to eat a healthy diet full of antioxidants as this will help increase your metabolism to eliminate toxins from your body.

More good news: nicotine traces in your saliva will disappear after four days. However, nicotine can remain in hair follicles for up to a year.

At buynictoinepouches.co.uk we recommend nicotine pouches over smoking since numerous scientific studies have shown nicotine pouches to be an effective tool for quitting smoking. Nicotine pouches provide a satisfying nicotine experience without the harmful toxins associated with traditional smoking.
