How long do you have to be off cigarettes to be medically considered a non-smoker. Until recently I had been a pack a day smoker for a little less than a year. Before that and now I just bum a few when I'm out drinking. But I am applying for pharmaceutical research testing that requires the volunteers to be non-smokers. The testing isn't until late in December, so if I lay off the cancer sticks from now until then, will I be ok?

If you can not smoke at least 1/2 the time it took DannyT to give mouse the HD he promised him you will be ok.
That's kind of a vague question. What do you mean by medically? The physical addiction is over in 2 weeks, but I think X-Rays take 6 mos to a year show clear for the tar in your lungs.
Whooooa whoooa whoooooa........Mouse gimme your number again....or call me up I am dead serious...I dont have a hard drive for you but you know what it is.....
The nicotine is out of your system in 3 days, and that's the addictive substance, so I would say "medically" it would be 3 days. I bet if you go in there without having smoked in over a month, and they don't smell it on you and you are not jonesing for one, then you will be OK.
3 years.......
that's about how long your lungs take to re-generate their tissue since you them up by smoking
P.S.
that's provided you haven't ed them up beyond repair.
As far as the testing goes, you'll need to check with the company. They probably have their own research-specific definitions of what being a non-smoker means and how far out you have to be.
As far as the actual health benefits of smoking, after the first six months of quitting the risk of having a heart attack decreases about 60%, and the risk continues to go down until you are about 3 years out. It's estimated that within 2-4 years after quitting, your risk of stroke is about that same as that of nonsmokers.
For lung disease and cancer, stopping also improves your risks, although the degree isn't as clear.
Thanks. I'd assume they wouldn't hold it against people who have quit smoking recently. If not I'm sure there's another clinic looking for smokers to test on.
It depends what kind of testing they are doing. If they need normal lung function, then chances are you won't have that after one month.
J.T., ever heard of google...Google it bro.
I gave you a mint condition DELL 2800 complete with (mouse,keys,monitor,speakers,and power supply) all factory sealed, with a Print smart photo copier that cost over 300 dollars and, a Fusion GE force video card still in the box on the side, 2 years worth of warranty and a 6 month money back guarantee, since you claim to be ex Military?
And your willing use some cheesy excuse saying you lost my number?
You have been to my trailer.....
your kid jumped up and down on 1,500.00 sofa I still pay Rent a center 60 dollars every two weeks for did you forget?
I also let you use my restroom? I don't even let LJ use my bathroom!
do I really look like NorCal, or did you try and bull me?
an old school retired 82nd airborne ST poster?
back on topic............
You will never really be free of tobacco or drugs. ever..... You just need to figure out a way from not passing the drug test, or find a job that does not test you.(NSA)
I would just Move to Canada and say it.................
I hope you give us an update!

LMAO at DannyT for not understanding the MOUSE comedy!
A pack of cigarettes causes stiffness of arteries (stiff arteries = raised blood pressure) for many years. There are probably other ways the poisonous, deleterious effects of cigarettes linger for years after stopping.
20 minutes After Quitting
Your heart rate and blood pressure drop.
(Effect of Smoking on Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure Amplification, Mahmud, A, Feely, J. 2003. Hypertension:41:183.)
12 hours After Quitting
The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1988, p. 202)
2 weeks to 3 Months After Quitting
Your circulation improves and your lung function increases.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp.193, 194,196, 285, 323)
1 to 9 Months After Quitting
Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. 285-287, 304)
1 Year After Quitting
The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
5 Years After Quitting
Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker 5 to 15 years after quitting.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
10 Years After Quitting
The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, eso us, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decreases.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. vi, 131, 148, 152, 155, 164,166)
15 Years After Quitting
The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker's.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
I understand Mouse 100%

I just want someone to explain to me how the oldest person who has ever lived...some French Lady...
She lived to be 121 something years old...she smoked until she was 117(said quitting was the hardest thing she ever did in her life).
How can it be possible?
The Red Wine?
The fact that she rode a bicycle for most of her life?
Fresh sea air(she lived on the coast)?
A diet primarily of fish?
It's kinda ironic don't you think?
Don't get me wrong...I'm a smoker, and I feel the freaking effects of smoking more than I'd like...
At the same time, how can the oldest person who ever lived, have smoked for @ a hundred years?
hahaha, yeah, i think that was the lady who never inhaled
I think the nicotine is the key
as long as you don't have it in your system you should be ok (imo)

I've seen some hilarious reactions to mouse's antics, but this one takes the gold!
Looks like you caught yourself a big one mouse
Good genes I guess? My great grandmother lived to be 106. Smoked all her life. Her daughter, my grandmother, is currently 98, she's also smoked all her life. On the other hand my grandfather, who smoked all his life as well, died when he was 68 of lung cancer
