I quit smoking for 3 months and took a carboxyhemoglobin test and it still shows im an average smoker I dont understand I worked so hard for this im so upset any one else have this happen

That is strange? I quit within 30 days had a clean urine and was normal ranged they said? Id ask for further evaluation and just remember you quit!!!!

If I remember correctly, there are some variables for how fast that all leaves your system. I think length of time you smoked and quantity smoked can make a big difference. I don't know how much you smoked and for how long, but perhaps that actually shows an improvement. I wonder if being around smokers/second hand smoke doesn't affect the speed your body improves.

You'll get there.

I am wondering, do you live with someone who is a smoker, in the house? Could it be you are inhaling second hand smoke from that?

I do my husband smokes ugh this sucks I have to take another test in a month

I would look into if second hand smoke could cause it. If it does, ask him to smoke in the garage or outside till you're approved.
