I don't know if chewing tobacco will actually show up in urine, especially a week after the fact, unless you're actually swallowing it. And it is possible that you may be inadvertently swallowing small amounts, albeit not deliberately. But regardless, honesty is your best policy and you should be truthful with your insurance company about your tobacco use.

I am honest with my Insurance agent and even asked him and he didnt know. I just was wondering if it would how up.

It's my understanding that nicotine tests positive for between 48 and 72 hours, depending on level of usage and how much was swallowed.
