Does Smoking Affect Hair Follicle Test?
So hair follicle testing starts tomorrow sept 2. I have probably smoked 15 times in the last 4 years so I am not a heavy user at all. but the last time I smoked was June 26th out of a bong and I had around 3-4 hits. the next time I smoked was July 27th and I had around 1-2 hits and did not get high at all. I weigh 125 and am pretty small and I feel like my metabolism is a little above average. the testing is random so I may not get chosen tomorrow but when do you think I will be clean? if the hair test shows up back to 90 days? plus if your hair grows faster than others does that give you an advantage to passing?

Hi did understand your concern
There are multiple tests for detection of smoking products in body and they can also be detected using hair follicle even tilll 6 months of age.
I would advice you to undergo testing and if results come normal just tell them truth and also let them know that you are bent on quitting and will quit soon enough
I hope this helps
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
Wish you a very healthy life ahead.
