I have to see a plastic surgeon in 5 days.....I have smoked 1/2 to 1 cigarette a day for about 6 months......I need surgery and smoked a couple today after not smoking for a week.....I m pretty sure he will test me....I have been in a car numerous times in the last month with 3 - 4 people smoking and have had friends anf family around for weeks since im unable to go to parties for the holidays. Will i test positive for cotinine in 5 days? Im probably looling at surgery the beginning of january....what can i do or take to rid my blood of cotinine?
