How long does nicotine and tobacco stay in your body?

nicotine
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?
