Nicotine Metabolite, Screen Only, Urine

This test detects cotinine in your urine, which is a chemical your body produces after breaking down nicotine. It helps show whether you have recently used tobacco products, nicotine replacements, or have been exposed to secondhand smoke. This screening is often used to monitor progress in smoking cessation programs or to verify non-smoking status. However, it only indicates if nicotine is present and does not measure the exact amount or determine the specific source of the exposure.
