is there a medical test to find out if a person is a smoker or not ?

Answer 1

Blood test or an autopsy will show that. Depends on how long ya been smoking.

Answer 2

I'm sure a blood test could find nicoteine in your blood. A non-smoker could probably smell smoke on your breath and clothing.

Answer 3

Tobacco? You can measure the carboxyhemoglobin in the blood--this is an indirect measure, it is elevated in tobacco smokers in increments (no direct screening blood or urine test for tobacco); nicotine, tar etc will show up on gas or high pressure liquid chromatograph testing but that is not routine or cheap; a drug test will show marijuana.

Answer 4

Usually you can smell their breath, look for yellow stains on their teeth, hear that lingering cough, or catch a whiff of cig-stink on their clothing.

I don't think you need much of a medical test for that. Even sitting in their car for a minute will answer that question.

Answer 5

yes. I recently applied for life insurance and the man had a special swab like stick that goes in your mouth so that your saliva can be tested, if the swab turns a certain color then tobacco is present.

Answer 6

yes, even a test for marijuiania

Answer 7

yes but if you cant smell it on them than you cant smell .....to a non smoker you smell very bad for hours after you smoke .

Answer 8

Yes, it can be determined by urinalysis or blood test

Answer 9

You can test for nicotine like any other drug in the bloodstream.

Answer 10

yes, all they need to do is test for nicotine in your blood
