Cotanine is a metabolite of nicotine and is used as a biomarker for exposure to tobacco use. Individuals who do not smoke or is not exposed to secondhand smoke do not have measurable cotanine. However, individuals who do smoke will typically have a cotinine level of 10 or higher in their blood. Most cotanine is rapidly eliminated by the kidney, where it is concentrated 10x higher.

The only way to reduce your cotanine level is to stay away from tobacco smoke, even second hand smoke, or quit tobacco use. This test provides a reliable measure of tobacco smoke exposure and may benefit your health or that of your loved ones if you want to find out whether or not have been exposed to tobacco smoke.
