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. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
