Cigarette smoke introduces nicotine and other chemicals into the bloodstream almost immediately upon inhalation. Nicotine typically remains detectable in the blood for about 1 to 3 days after smoking, but its metabolites can linger longer, depending on factors like frequency of use and individual metabolism. Other harmful substances from cigarette smoke can have varying durations in the bloodstream, but the immediate effects of smoking can be felt for several hours.

Is breathing in microwave smoke the same as breathing in cigarette smoke?

Breathing in microwave smoke and cigarette smoke can both be harmful, but they differ in composition and health effects. Microwave smoke typically comes from burning food, which may release various harmful chemicals depending on the materials involved, while cigarette smoke contains a complex mix of toxic substances, including tar and nicotine. Both can irritate the respiratory system, but cigarette smoke has more established long-term health risks, including cancer and heart disease. It's essential to avoid inhaling any type of smoke for optimal respiratory health.

Can you smoke the electronic cigarette before a surgery?

It depends on how long before surgery you smoke an e-cig. No matter when you smoke your last pre-surgery electronic cigarette, it is overwhelmingly safer than smoking a tobacco cigarette! You need to ask your anesthesiologist this question. My guess, as someone who has had a lot of surgeries in the last few years and a smoker of e-cigs, is: the day before. Most often it seems that you check into the hospital long before your surgery and then you're kept so busy that you aren't able to smoke anyway.
