The hiring manager asks this question because Cigna has a strict policy against employees using any form of tobacco while employed with their company. This includes cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and electronic cigarettes. Some states allow Cigna to test for nicotine when doing the pre-employment drug test, so the hiring manager wants to find out if you use tobacco before moving forward in the hiring process.

Focus on being completely honest. If you are not honest about your tobacco use, the hiring manager will find out that you use nicotine if your state allows testing for nicotine. If you do not use nicotine, you have nothing to worry about.

If you smoke or chew tobacco, avoid telling the interviewer that you do not use tobacco in any form. You might think you can beat the nicotine test, but there is a component of nicotine that can stay in your system for up to seven days. If you take a nicotine test and do not pass, the hiring manager will not offer you the internship.

"No, I do not use tobacco in any form. I think smoking is a dirty habit, and I have never been interested in trying it."
