Hi. Yesterday I Interviewed For Employment With Centura Health Based

Hi.

Yesterday I interviewed for employment with Centura Health based in Colorado. They informed me cigarette smokers are ineligible for employment. How long does it it take to clear the system of nicotine/cotinine? What is the threshold which can be detected? They said I would have to provide eithera UA or blood work for testing within 8 hours after a position is offered, and said I should know within 1-2 weeks if I am considered. I had my last cigarette yesterday, but I've been smoking nearly a pack/day for roughly 10 years and am terrified I won't pass the screening process. Statistics include: 21, about 130 lbs, minimal exercise, minimal fluid intake, 1 pack/day.

Thanks for your PROMPT and ACCURATE response in advance.
