The length of time that nicotine stays in the body and cotinine can be a reliable indicator of nicotine use depends on the amount of tobacco smoked, the number of years smoking tobacco, and the type of nicotine test performed. It can be as short as 2 days, or as long as 3 months.
How long nicotine can be detected in your system also depends on how much of it has been converted to cotinine as cotinine has a longer half life. It takes 24 hours for cotinine in your system to be reduced by half.If you continue to smoke there will always be cotinine in your urine.icotine Half Life. Nicotine half life is about 2 hours. This means that 2 hours after you smoke a cigarette about half the nicotine has left your body and within about 2 hours after that the levels (from that last cigarette) are reduced by half again.
