Be real here, why would you even want to work there if your not allowed to smoke in your free time or your break time? A good worker is a happy worker in my eyes, if you're not happy working their and craving nicotine you probably won't be working as well as you should anyhow....

What kind of nicotine test is it?
My only suggestion would be to use someone else's pee. It's not an easy conversation to broach though

Drink 2 cups, 500ml, of cranberry juice every hour for 12 hours.
Drink water in between.

Honestly, I do agree with you, however, these days you know beggars can't be choosers...you know you need cash and if that is the one place that does call for an interview, you know, it is what it is, a job till you can find something else. I didn't get a call back yet...but I am thinking way ahead as no body has called

So you applied to work at a hospital right? Think about it though, if you're a smoker and you are working around non smokers, at some point one of the other staff members is going to rat you out if they smell smoke on your clothes or breathe... That's just the way it is, believe me I understand beggars can't be choosers I've worked a lot of crappy jobs in my life... You said you were interested in working temp, why not buzz up a temp agency and see if they have anything for you?

A piece of advice:
You call them back...if you really want a job, that is.
As far as the nicotine thing goes, what kind of job is it, exactly? That's a pretty draconian way to preclude someone from being hired.
But back to the more important thing, if you truly want to find a job in this down economy, you should consider calling them. Daily. Otherwise, your application winds up in the circular file.
