Will I be drug tested for nicotine or cotinine?

Just accepted an offer at Medtronic. They said I have to do a drug test. I'm wondering, do they test for nicotine or cotinine? I am very worried since a bunch of companies in my state are testing for cotinine lately. I need this job!
 












Maybe quit smoking and then you don’t have to get all stressed out about the drug tests. And you will feel a whole lot better.

yes, there is just not a good chance it’ll be out of my system on time for the drug test. I quit once I got the offer. Cotinine may be detected for up to a week though, which is why I worry
