Can they deny employment if I am a smoker?
I have never heard that they test for cotinine.I have however, never seen a smoking mail man either. I know this isnt too helpful. i would call the HR department if you are going to be testing with them soon and find out exactly what you will be tested for. You dont have to give your name. Im sure they hire hundreds of people each month. My employer does cotinine tests and yes they deny employment and fire people if they test positive!

How long does it stay in your system ? What can help clean your system out quicker ?

Cotinine, the metabolite of nicotine, can be detectable in blood and urine for approx. 96 hours and 90 days in the hair. There is nothing available that will speed up this process.
Toxins in the Water
Here’s what you might be ingesting the next time you have a cool drink of water: acetaminophen; antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections; antibacterial agents found in soap; trace amounts of caffeine and cotinine, a body-producing byproduct of nicotine; anticoagulants; and carbamazepine, a drug used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder. Oh, and DEET insect repellant.
I don’t know how you deal with this except through government regulation. I know that anti-government types dislike almost any sorts of government intervention and believe that property owners should be able to do as they will on their property and that people’s ability to manufacture or buy products should be almost unfettered. But, as always, a person’s right to swing his arm stops at the other guy’s nose. In the case of something as simple as a punch in the nose, you don’t need a whole lot of government intervention; you can just sue the guy for damages you sustain from the punch. Pollution is a tougher issue because the damages are less direct. If I’m get sick from a steady stream of cocktails consisting of soap, caffeine, nicotine, and DEET, who do I sue?
