Answer 5

It depends on the company and where to live, but in most cases you will be rated at a smokers rates.  If you smoke a lot, you may recieve a rating for a higher amount.

Most companies test for a nicotine by product known as cotinine.  Cotinine is found when someone uses almost any tobacco product (chew, cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, nicorette, weed, etc).

Whether it will show up or not, depends on how long ago you last smoked up before the test was done.
