My dad just got approved for a surgery and the surgeon knows he smokes and wants to do a chest x-ray and some kind of test to check for nicotine before he will do the surgery. He was a heavy smoker for over 20 years and has cut down to only 2 cigarettes a day if even. He now needs to quit completely. If he quits now, and does the test in 2 weeks, will it still show up? How long does it stay in your body?

I was curiouse out of a random ADD moment today when my dad was smoking, how much Nicotine is safe for a human to Ingest? I know 1 drop of pure nicotine can kill someone, so how much is safe, just to get someone addicted?

My dad used to be a smoker. He has stopped for a while. However, for some reason he has started chewing high strength nicotine gum all the time (4mg) about 15 pieces a day and is addicted to it. Is the gum doing his health any harm (never mind the expense)?

My dad has stopped smoking cold-turkey for health reasons and is experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms and he can not have things like the patch because he can not have nicotine in his body at all. What are some ways to help him- like are there over the counter calming aids that don’t add nicotine to the body- or gum chewing, fake smoking, herbs?
