Nicotine/Cotinine, Screen and Confirmation, Urine

This test measures the amount of nicotine and cotinine, a substance created when the body breaks down nicotine, in your urine. It helps show whether you have recently used tobacco, e-cigarettes, or nicotine replacement products like patches or gum. This screening is useful for confirming nicotine use status or detecting exposure to secondhand smoke. However, it cannot diagnose health problems caused by smoking or determine exactly how often you use these products over a long period.
