How Long Does It Take To Detoxify The Body After Smoking?

I smoked last week but I don t smoke constantly so about once a week. If I do smoke, it s about 3 hits off an apple. I was wondering how long will it take to come out of my system. I have a work drug test next week or so and want to make sure it won t show up. Is there anything I can do?

WIth ONE use it is 5 to 7 days. With continual heavy use it can be months. THis sounds closer to the one use pattern than the continual user, so I would predict 1 week. This can be verified with drug tetsts available at ost pharmacies.
