A member asked:
Can tests for cigarette smokers determine if you recently quit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testing for smoking: There is no such test. The test tells them if you have been smoking or have been chewing or have tobacco exposure in the recent few months. If you test positive they do not have any proof you have quit.
