    Hi Betsy, I am just starting the process, and smoke, and have to stop before I have the surgery.(2 months smoke free) The nurse said they do a blood test to make sure...I did not think there was/is a test, but I guess there is! maybe the carbon level is risidual smoke substance still in your system? good luck!

    I'm curious to know the answer to this. I don't smoke but had routine bloodwork done by my PCP and noticed that it listed the carbon below normal which concerned me since I've had pnemonia in the past. The doc wasn't too concerned though. It never dawned on me that it might be related to smoking...
