Key Facts
- A healthy liver rapidly inactivates absorbed nicotine through metabolic processes.
- Nicotine metabolites are subsequently filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine.
- Most ingested nicotine is cleared from the body within 16 hours if liver function is normal.
- Liver health directly influences the speed of toxin clearance and recovery time.
