How Cigarette Molecules Give Away Your Secret Smoking Habits

That is why it is easy to track whether you smoke or not.

The kick which gets in with the first puff can lose for an hour or two, which is the maximum; but the cigarette molecules won’t let you go so easily…

For how long can cigarette molecules be detected?

If you take water-soluble drugs, it is possible to eliminate it with increased fluid intake and urination; but if the cigarette has THC as the active component, then it remains in the fat cells for a longer period, more than normal!

Stopping that cigarette doesn’t mean that the component will go out of your body immediately as the levels of THC might go high and reach the peak moment you stop it. Unlike alcohol, there is no way for THC to get digested by the body soon after consumption.

It can be easily detected in the urine or blood. THC components can stay in the body for about 100 days after consumption.

Chronic smokers

  • It is something to worry about for chronic smokers. Cannabis can be detected in the body for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 100 days. This means that the urine test will show positive for about 3 months or even more!

Blood tests are also done for the same. But, urine tests are more efficient in such cases!

Now you know that smoking is indeed injurious to health!
