Using Smokeless Tobacco. How Long Will It Take To Clear Cotinine Test? What Is The Threshold Level Of The Test?
I use smokeless tobacco about 2 to three times a day...180 lb 6 tall, moderately active, how long will it take me to test clear on a cotinine test? I have completely stopped using nicotine. I have heard everything from 1 to 6 weeks. Also, maybe easier to answer, do you know the threshold level of the test? I have heard anywhere from 10 to 200 ng/ml. Thank you
