SMOKING Cesation???

What if one is TRYING to quit smoking, has told the dr they have quit...and the dr does a blood test and finds nicotine in the test...??? and they are actually trying - but using nicotine gum to try to ward off the cravings??? does the gum count against that person as well??? and what if a blood test was also required for insurance purposes??? would the gum affect anything??? if i'm not making much sense, i will clarify if someone wants / needs it...thanks for any assistance...kat

Why are you worried about your doctor suspecting you didn't quit? And why wouldn't he believe a positive test result was due to nicotine gum?
