Cotinine testing in wellness programs is gaining in popularity as the trend of requiring smoking employees to pay different health plan premiums becomes more prevalent. Cotinine is usually the test of choice to evaluate tobacco use or exposure to tobacco smoke because it is stable and is only produced when nicotine is metabolized. Different types of samples, such as blood or an oral fluid swab can be used to detect cotinine at a laboratory.
