I'm not saying they don't care. But once you get hired they don't do random tests for nicotine.

People chew the nicotine gum and use patches though.

OK, just seems strange is all.

Nicotine is a natural by product of tobacco.

a nicotine test? why the hell would an employer care if someone had a nicotine addiction?
Seriously?
SHOULD they care is another discussion, but are you really wondering WHY they would care?

Gotcha... didn't know that. Like I said, definitely not an expert on the subject. Far from it.

All of you smokers are so fricked. One day soon all companies will do this

So just trying to steer back on topic a little but the consensus is that the nicotine test should have been administered with the drug screen and the medical exam shouldn't test for any nicotine, correct?

Company Giving Nicotine Test
Quite possibly the dumbest shite I've ever heard.

Not if they're providing health insurance. It's actually pretty smart.
They might also view the person as having poor judgement.

Nicotine is usually tested for insurance premiums and not necessarily your employer, however I'm not sure of the laws but they might be able to see the results.
They test for nicotine via blood sample for a metabolite. It is usually done by itself and takes a larger sample.

Thanks Obamacare.
Does that mean they do a cholesterol check, skin biopsy, Family medical history, etc? I mean how invasive can they get?

Not here. All testing is done via urine.

Ours does a nicotine test to lower your insurance premium a large amount.
Its 100% optional though.

Can you be too fat to get a job also?

The Southern Company. They do it for insurance premium purposes.
Sounds like a law suit waiting to happen.
