Swab test

[LifetimeSmoker]

I'm a pretty regular smoker (everynight) with some stoned day from time to time... Whats the easiest way to pass a swab drug test (the kind where you have to hold this thing in your mouth for a lil bit)... Thanks for your input

I have only taken this type of test one time, for a job a United Healthcare. (2003) I had stopped smoking for 2 weeks (really 16 days) prior to taking this test, and I passed it. I tried to research it first on the internet, as I had never heard of this saliva test prior to that job, and according to what I read, it is not quite as effective as a urine test, meaning it will not go back as far. You can also google "saliva drug test" and I'm sure find the same info that I did. I don't think you could substitute anything for this type of test, as when I took mine, the human resources lady watched me do it. Good luck.

I have heard it only took like 24 to 48 hours to get clean for the "Saliva Test" but I haven't found out if that info is 100% on the money...

Close lifetime smoker. Most are accurate to about 48 hours but the max is 96 hours. So the easiest thing is to stop for 4 days. If you don't have 4 days try to get at least 2 days and heavy brushing and flossing the day of the test and right before the test. Teeth, gums, cheek, tongue brush it all. Also, position the swab so it is in least amount of contact with surfaces.

I just took one for work and smoked 2 days before and still passed. Id say dont smoke 3 days before the test and make sure you brush and rinse your mouth with mouthwash and you should be fine.

i took a swab test at my last job and smoked the night before, just get some mouthwash and keep rinsing your mouth over and over and right before you go in take some altoids. tell them no you had no gum or candy within the past hour and you will be good to go.
