Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me how long it takes for a carboxy hemoglobin to come up negative after I quit smoking cigarettes and marijuana? I have to get one for an upcoming procedure, but the doctor didn't tell me that part, so i don't know how long I need to wait before I order the test.
