When I went to my orientation all doctors and presnters were adimant that smoking was not allowed and that they do give blood tests.

I used to smoke a lot when I was in high school and all throughout college. When I started dating my fiance (three years ago) I've been able to manage my smoking from little to none. However, when stress got the best of me I had one or two cigarrettes and then threw away the pack some time after (They'd get stale so that'll give somewhat of an idea on how often I smoked). The last time I actaully smoked was a few months back.

Do you think this'll effect my chances?

Plus, they do say that second hand does come up on the blood tests and I do have family members that do smoke.

I had a blood test a few weeks after taking a few drags off of my husband's e-cig, and my test results were totally clean. If you quit a few months back, you should be fine. If the secondhand smoke is enough to affect the levels in your blood, it will still be very low.

Best of luck to you!

You should be ok...I'm not a "smoker" (none of us are - right?? Lol )...anyway...I was smoking a few a day upto two weeks prior to surgery.

I did have a blood test and my doctor kept asking me of I smoked and when I quit...I kept lying, but I think he knew. They did my surgery anyway but I think he was a little upset. Plus I had my surgery I'm Mexico so perhaps they weren't as strict.

If you quit months ago you should be ok...just don't take the chance...you never know what could happen...not worth having your surgery cancelled of postponed.

No it shouldn't.
