Smoking Question

[nickyvolzz 17]

I quit smoking for a while now but then on the fourth of July I was drinking and then got offered a cigarette and smoked two. Now I'm worried that I won't be six months with out smoking. I have to get a letter signed by my PCP that I'm six months with no smoking. Does anyone know if they test your blood or urine somehow, or do they just go by your word and sign the paper. I'm supposed to go to see my PCP in October, so that will be three months since I smoked, so if they do check do you think I'd still pass? Any response is much appreciated! Thank you.

there is no test that will be done to see if you have been smoking. They go off your word. Obviously you have been doing great thus far, just be carefull to not have any more. =)

Stop stressing though, if you hang out with smokers you get 10 x more toxins just breathing off the other end than you got out of those 2. Stay strong though!!!

Hope this helps =)

if you just smoked a cigarette it will stay in your system about one week heavy smokers 1 to 2 months. My dr did a test the day of surgery

Not everyone gets tested but my doctor wanted to make sure i was 110% committed to changing my life... specially since i started smoking when i was 15 and it is a really hard habit to drop.

You should be fine! My Dr. Does a blood test to check for nicotene only 6 weeks before surgery

Where I am having my gastric bypass surgery done they actually test your blood for the nicotine. It all depends on your surgeon and everything. They test everyone on the day of surgery to make sure that you have no nicotine in your system.

I didn't get tested. I'm an honest patent. I had quit long ago before surgery. The decision was made when I saw my son with autism banging his head it was time to quit & take care of my kids.

I constantly was urine tested! But I would quit 2 weeks before every test and always came out fine.
