Question

Answer 1

You doctor cannot tell your mum you smoke if you do not want her to know.

Edit: DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE ABOVE!

Your doctor cannot tell your mum any thing you do not want her to know. Even if you were pregnant he cannot tell her without your concent.

Answer 2

only if you're smoking weed.

Answer 3

depends on how evil the docter is!~

Answer 4

Your doctor can tell your mom anything but I believe there is a patient confidentiality clause that they have to follow.

Stop smoking..it's obviously not doing you a bit of good and will only make you heal slower.

Answer 5

If you under 18 and still lie with your mother, then yes the doctor MUST tell her everything he finds.  If you are under 18 you belong to your parents.  Only certain special information is protected -- like pregnancy.

the question is, will they test for nicotine?  The urine test will only show what they test for.  If they are testing for a kidney infection, they probably won't find nicotine. . . .unless your mom ask them to test for nicotine, in which case she probably already suspects that you smoke.

But depending on what you're sick with, they might not take the pee test.  you don't need to take a pee test for bronchitis . . .

Answer 6

oh yes the doctor is gonna tell her cus you are not 18 yet. so you better tell her b4 u go in  

Answer 7

Your doctor can not tell ANYBODY ANYTHING about your medical standing unless you give written permission.

Answer 8

By law, the Doctor can't, unless you waive Doctor-patient privilege. If the Dr. tells anyway, they can be in serious trouble.

As for her already knowing. I started when I was 16, and she didn't know. Of course, I did my own laundry, and having a 3 pack a day smoker in the house helped too.  

Answer 9

Your mom isn't stupid, if you smoke - your breath and clothes stink. She already knows.
