Thats not accurate.
Once your body has metabolised nicotine, it is referred to as cotinine - this has a half life of 20 hours. However, it is detectable in your blood stream for up to 4 days after your last smoke.
However, the point about using a gum, patch or other such device is a sound one. If you (and others around you) can handle it, go cold turkey. If not, use a smoking cessation aid.
