Thanks, DrBill and Newme. I tried another test this morning, and pretty much the same thing. I think I've slightly convinced myself that you could very very barely see a line at the 10-minute mark, which got a infinitesimally more visible over the next few minutes, but there was nothing there at all in the first several minutes beyond the 5-minute mark.

I'm going to try the dilution method over the next several hours and do another test this afternoon. I'm hoping that because the first morning piss is stronger, I'll get better results in the afternoon after drinking lots of fluids (which will be the case when I take the test).

Light but regular smoker (6-7 evenings/week, one or two tokes from a pipe). I think I last smoked August 26, but it's possible it was a few days earlier than that. I have been offered the job I've been working towards for the past 5 years, and have already had to give notice at my current job. I was pretty sure a drug test would be involved (which is why I stopped smoking in August), but for some Rating: 5
