Nicotine leaves the body after about 48 hours, but cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine) might remain for up to a week. It seems that if trace remains were found in a blood test after 21 days, it would be more likley a result of exposure to second-hand smoke than from your previous smoking history.   More info can be found here: http://www.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol13N3/tearoff.html   Congratulation on quitting and good luck on staying quit!
