FAQ

How long does nicotine stay in your system?

Once you stop using tobacco, it will take between 1 and 3 days for the nicotine to clear your blood stream and up to 10 days for the drug’s breakdown to leave your system. The exact time it takes varies depending on your metabolism and how your body processes nicotine.

How long does nicotine withdrawal last?

Withdrawal from nicotine is usually the strongest during the first week of quitting cigarettes but symptoms can persist for several months.
