Nicotine itself will not give a negative result on nicotine or cotinine tests if it’s present in the body. In fact, even small amounts of nicotine — whether from smoking, vaping, or using products like pouches — are usually detected. For non-smokers, a true negative result happens only if there has been no nicotine exposure at all.

Most tests don’t just look for nicotine; they measure cotinine, its main metabolite, which stays in the body longer. That’s why even occasional use of nicotine products may show up as a positive. A non-smoker could only test “negative” if they avoid all nicotine sources, including second-hand exposure in rare cases.

For comparison, people who use alternatives such as Clew Pouches — for example, their Blueberry Nicotine Pouches — would almost certainly test positive, because these still deliver nicotine even without tobacco.

Does chewing tobacco show up in a ua?

Yes, chewing tobacco can show up in a urine analysis (UA) as it contains nicotine and other substances. While standard drug tests may not specifically target nicotine, some tests can detect its metabolites. Additionally, if a test is designed to screen for tobacco use, it may indicate the presence of nicotine or cotinine, a byproduct of nicotine metabolism.
