Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query nicotine stay in saliva for roughly 5 days or sometimes more , which further depend upon many factors . You can reduce nicotine levels by drinking plenty of water.The more water consumed, the more nicotine released from the body thru the urine. It stay sn blood system for less than 24 hrs. Eat fruits and vegetables. They are antioxidants, with high fiber and water content. They can help metabolize the nicotine out of the system. It is very difficult to say that you will going to pass test or not , because it depends upon many factors like frequency of smoking , amount of smoking and individual body reaction towards smoking . But if you do above things which i mention for speedy removal of nicotine , there will be chance of passing test
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
