Question Posted Tuesday October 16 2007, 1:40 am

ok so i have smoked about 5 times. its DEFINIATELY not something im proud of and i hated it so i stopped. i have been drug- free since june.
i reall tyhink i have asthma since i have a lot of trouble in pe and had the issues before the smoking... if i get tested for asthma will they...

2. tell my parents?

If they test you at school... you've never even seen pot ever.
if it's at the doctor, they can't tell anyone anyway. they'll just ask you how many times/when was the last time. i told my doctor about stuff i did in the past and it was all fine.
after 4 months tho... it doesn't matter. it won't show up at all.
ciggs don't show up on a drug test. it might be a cause of it so you can tell them that.
don't smoke or hang around cigg smoke especially. it'll only make matters worse. <3

They won't be able to tell from 5 times.
and they won't test for drugs unless there's a strong reason to or someone requests it (which is very unlikely).
What goes on in a doctors office is confidential.
However, if you do get tested for asthma, they will probably ask if you smoke (they asked me). You can say no, because you don't. Forget about the times you did - you can just pass that off as passive smoking.
If it turns out you do have respiratory problems (or even if you don't!) remember smoking is bad for you either way. and it will only make your problems worse.

A good doctor will be able to tell, but I'm pretty sure they have to keep all information confidential if you ask them to. Try to find out about their privacy policies.
