This is especially important for those who are attempting to quit smoking, as physicians can monitor how much a patient has cut back and recommend the appropriate cessation products for their phase of the elimination process. HOW DO TOBACCO TESTS WORK Nicotine tests, also known as cotinine tests, can be completed using blood, urine, hair, or saliva samples. These tests work by detecting the chemical compound (nicotine) in the body. When nicotine enters the body, it is processed by the liver, which metabolizes the nicotine into cotinine metabolites. The lungs also metabolized by the lungs, which turn the chemical compound into cotinine and nicotine oxide. Best Sellers Rank: See Top 100 in Health & Household. : B07J2V3RCZ.
