Question
Can the doctor tell if i smoke?
I am and i smoke and i dont want my parents to find out. Can the doctor tell by looking at my throat? Can he tell from something else?
Answer
A doctor can tell from smelling it on a patient, but he may think that the person might live with or be around a smoker. If he is perceptive, he may smell it on your breath. An xray or scan will show lung damage from smoking, but it will not show smoke. Ive heard of a doctor that once showed cloudy spots in an xray to a patient and told him that was smoke. Of course, it wasnt smoke, lungs just look cloudy in xrays. If you really smoked that much, woudnt your parents have smelled it already? I would not worry about it.
