Generally, it takes about 72 hours from the last use for other nicotine by-products to leave the system. Yet cotinine remains in the system for as long as four days. Cotinine can also remain for several months, depending on how much tobacco was smoked and the length of time the user has smoked.icotine can stay for 48 hours. Beyond this time it is not detected either in the blood or urine. However, the cotinine metabolite can leave traces for about 7 days. There are some people who have anomalies in their genes that trigger the slow metabolism of cotinine.
Cotinine is the primary metabolite of nicotine. Nicotine leaves the body in a few hours, but cotinine has a longer half-life, and is usually present for up to a week. Cotinine has a half-life of 16 hours, meaning that half of all the trace leaves your body every 16 hours, or so. If you're a light smoker, most of it should be gone in 48 hours, depending on how much you smoke, but most tests will pick up trace amounts, especially in the mouth swab.
