Kaiser pre-employment nicotine test?

I have to do a pre-employment drug test for Kaiser Permanente and currently vape nicotine – does Kaiser check for this (or cotinine) in their drug screenings? Quite a few clinics near me are becoming “smoke-free” – meaning they will not hire someone who tests positive for nicotine/cotinine, whether it be from cigs, vape, patch, gum, etc. A seriously stupid change in my book, meant to cut insurance costs and whatnot. But who am I to argue with the almighty dollar. Anyway, any insight would be greatly appreciated. TIA 🙂
