Background check: Drug test for nicotine
Before anyone mentions this, I already searched the site and couldn't find anything on this.
My question is this: When they do the drug test for pre-employment screens, do they check for nicotine or just illegal drugs?
knee-jerk reaction: worst question I've seen on this site
Jesus Christ.
Oh my god
No wait, it's not a dumb question. I don't want to pay the higher rates on health insurance and want to know if they test you for nicotine as well while they're testing you for drugs.
If you smoke and you say you don't smoke to get cheaper rates, that's pretty much fraud.
Your signature line could perhaps be the most appropriate one I've ever seen on this sight, at the moment...

burn.
"They misunderstand me."
Everyone's railing on you for your question and you were trying to explain your point.
Why can't I edit it!?! Now everyone will see my typo
EDIT: I can edit this one though
xoxo
Haha, that struck me. Gracias for setting it in stone
So, are you guys not answering me because you're being jerks or because you don't know the answer?
are they also checking for alcohol??
Facepalm
This can't be a real question.
EDIT: Please just pay a few extra bucks a month, and don't lie to your insurance company. Are you really that cheap?
EDIT: I'm asking for a 'friend'.
to be fair, it isn't "a few extra bucks a month" I believe at the bank I worked last, it was like 600 or 700 dollars more or something like that over the whole year... Not the end of the world but that's a couple airline tickets...

For fuck's sake, I need to get off this site.
Hater's gonna hate OP, don't let them get you down.
During my drug test I tested positive for three separate types of anabolic steroids and a low-grade beaver tranquilizer. Needless to say my premiums went through the roof. Your concern is certainly warranted.
An employment screen will only test for illegal substances. I think that there's only a survey to fill out for health insurance so if you don't check the box then nobody would know. But if you have a doctor and do any type of blood work, cotinine will show up as a substance because it takes about half a week for the substance to disappear. If you want to save money, then you should just stop smoking lol.
The only funny guy in these posts is you lol. I mean that in all sincerity.
Well, considering that your question had no point of clarification between legal substances (which nicotine is) and illegal substance (which nicotine is not), don't be a snarky jacknape and assume that everyone knows what you mean. Ask a question and get an answer to that very question. Next time be clear about how you ask your question so you can get the answer you're looking for.
they only test for creatine
No wonder I can't get a job.
That this post has this many comments surprised me
Cigarettes before Drug Test. Safe? (Originally Posted: 02/29/2016)
I never smoked in my lifetime until 2 days ago. I smoked 3 cigarettes at once while I was staying up late cracking the deadlines with some teammates in my small room. Just cigarettes. Menthol. Then I got my job offer today, asking me to do a drug testing in 3 days. Will this be a concern? I was just smoking cigarettes. Any help will be appreciated!
No.
As long as it was just a plain cigarette, nothing will happen.
Not sure if troll or not but continue
Just make sure to drink a ton of water you'll be fine.
