Do doctors check for smoking cigarettes in physicals if you're underage?!


Question: Do doctors check for smoking cigarettes in physicals if you're underage?
I'm 15 and i'm doing track which requires a physical. I don't have physicals often so i'm not sure what goes on. I've smoked about one cigarette every two weeks ever since the end of Summer. I myself don't think that's very obsessive but what do I know.
And you don't need to waste your time telling me how bad smoking is, I'm already fully aware and focused on training.

1 cig every 2 weeks will have little to no effect on your life and the doc won't know about it.



sometimes and if they do they will ask if you do drugs..... but they wont check yr lungs or anything so you can say no i am not saying lying is good but u got to do what you need to do to get yr physical



no they won't. but doctors are usually smart people and can figure things like that out fairly easily.

don't worry though, there's a thing call doctor-patient confidentiality...he or she can lecture you about it, but they can't tell anyone.
