Will corinine levels change from being smoke free at 4 weeks to being smoke free 12 weeks. just smoked 3 packs in 2 weeks. was smoke free for 8 wks but slipped. need surgery badly will i pass?

Even the first puff has been shown to reduce blood flow & many surgical specialties will not do elective surgery on anyone who is not smoke free 90 days. Failure to heal well is a bad thing. If they test for it they may fine it, depending on the sensitivity of the test and what they are testing.
