Im having bariatrics surgery, I have to have 2 blood tests with zero nicotine in them. Will vaping with 0% nicotine, show on a blood test? My doctor says yes

Hi and welcome,

I don't understand; when was your most recent use of nicotine?

When will the first test be performed?

Where are you located?

Perhaps taking an at home test from a local pharmacy or Amazon might be a way to help reassure you that the blood test(s) will return no surprises.

Welcome to ecf @chrissyjewell

I certainly wouldn’t give advice contrary to your doctor’s. It can take two or more weeks for nicotine to leave your system. I just can’t figure how vaping zero nicotine would show up on a test.

Kinda, but not related. I was vaping while shopping for cars a couple of weeks ago. The sales guy told me he still smokes because his doctor told him vaping was worse than smoking.

It's not the 0 nic you should worry about, it's the previous usage. Previous usage could show in the blood at levels high enough to trigger a positive test result for quite some time. 1 month or more, according to various google-picked sources and internet armchair experts. Urine can be much shorter.


Good luck.

Sorry, that was a really vague question, wasn't it? I haven't had nicotine in almost 3 months, so the 0% vapes help, i've just been scared to do the blood test, so I have been putting it off. Im in St louis, I can take the blood test whenever really.

I think you'll be fine. If it really worries you though they sell nicotine test kits that will give you a result from home. I use the ones for MJ and they never led me wrong.

Yeah but aren't those urine tests? OP is getting a blood test.

But I agree that after 3 months of 0 nic OP is likely in the clear. I doubt cotinine is detectable in a blood test after 3 months...but I actually don't know.

To be safe, obviously, no vape is the way to go. But if you are mixing your own 0 nic juice then you know for sure it has 0 nic in it and if you use clean everything (including tank/atty) to vape that 0 nic, there would be no reason why 0 nic juice would contain nicotine.

Sometimes we just need a confidence booster.. I know a blood test can be more thorough, at least it's not a hair sample.

Im for sure not mixing it myself... but the guy at the vape shop says its 0%... lol.....SOOOO Im probably going to do an at home test first

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

the guy at the vape shop says its 0%

Is that commercial juice or are they mixing it there at the vape shop?

I'm just gonna go ahead and say not every doctor graduated at the top, or even in the top half, of their class.

 

[chrissyjewell]

no, its already mixed up

 

[chrissyjewell]

Of course the doc would say that, if you’re gonna quit smoking you need a prescription from a pharmaceutical company, one that just happens to provide vacations.. I mean continuing education in comfortable settings for said doc!

I have to have

Welcome and glad you joined.
I would seek second doctor's opinion.

Not at all. Just me covering up a more idiotic than usual post. lol.

A generic understanding of how long nicotine may stay in your blood stream etc.
