Anyways, from my research doctors are able to detect nicotine in the samples, however most drug tests aren't screening for anything that isn't illegal. Basically, most places use tests to detect ILLEGAL substances only, which in your case would come back all negative since nicotine isn't illegal.
Just note that there are some tests that detect for nicotine too and your doctor may call you out on it, mostly if you marked "no" to smoking on your actual physical exam paper.
I found this site which explains drug tests and what they detect and how long certain drugs tend to stay in your system.
Don't be too worried because chances are that they are only screening for illegal substances so you are probably fine =] I wish you luck and hope everything comes back good.
With Love,
