TL;DR
A VARIETY of methods have been described for the identification and determination of nicotine in biological fluids however, they lack sensitivity, specificity and are tedious for routine analysis.

In smokers, large differences were observed in the ‘apparent amphetamine’ content of the urine determined by a methyl orange complexing method, and the amphetamine content determined by gas–liquid chromatography1.

The quantitation of nicotine and its metabolites in the body fluids of smokers would be helpful for the investigation of the relation between nicotine exposure and heart disease and should also give a more reliable estimate of the quantities of other tobacco smoke ingredients to which the body is exposed.
