Hi...
Welcome to Ask a doctor service.

Generally nicotine will leave your blood within 1 to 3 days after you stop using tobacco and it's metabolites including cotinine will be gone after 1 to 7 days of cessation. Neither nicotine nor cotinine will be detectable in your urine after 10 days of stopping cool lip.
In addition to the urine and blood test,you will test negative in saliva test after 3 to 4 days.
Hair testing are reliable way to figure out long-term use of tobacco products and can be very accurate for as long as 1 to 3 months after you stop using tobacco. It can even detect nicotine for up to 12 months.But it is not used for routine screening.
So to ensure that you test negative,you have to refrain from cool lip for 10 days.As you have only 7 days left so do it immediately.
You can increase the excretion of it by keeping yourself well hydrated(would keep the system flushed) and having vitamin c rich foods like citrus fruits and supplements.
Mantain good oral hygeine.
Any form of tobacco can cause cancer. whether filtered or nonfiltered.
For the best interest of your own health,please quit this habit.This is my sincere request.
Hope that I have answered your query. Regards.
