Nicotine (Cotinine) Urine Self-Test

Nicotine (Cotinine) Urine Self-Test – detects smoking up to 2–4 days later

If you want a clear indication of whether nicotine has been used recently, this urine self-test provides a simple way to screen for cotinine. It’s designed for discreet use at home and can help indicate recent nicotine exposure from smoking.

What does the test measure?

This test screens for cotinine, which is the main breakdown product (metabolite) of nicotine. Because cotinine stays in the body longer than nicotine itself, it is commonly used as a reliable indicator of recent nicotine intake.

Detection window

After the last cigarette, nicotine use may still be detectable 2 to 4 days later, depending on individual factors and usage pattern.

Who is this test for?

This cotinine urine test is often chosen by people who want clarity and consistency, for example:

• Monitoring whether someone has (re)started smoking
• Supporting a quit-smoking trajectory with periodic checks
• Checking nicotine exposure over a longer period by testing multiple times

Reliable screening for home use

This test is widely used for cotinine screening and comes with clear instructions, making it suitable for home testing when you want a straightforward result without visiting a lab.

How it works (in practice)

You use a urine sample and follow the included instructions to perform the test and interpret the result. For the most reliable outcome, always read the result within the recommended time window listed in the manual.

Important note

This is a screening self-test. If the result is unclear—or if the outcome has important consequences—repeat the test and/or confirm via a professional laboratory method.
