How will my doctor know if I smoked cigarettes before surgery?

lovelifebliss
Today is Monday and my BA is on Wednesday. I have been doing my absolute best to cut down on smoking and I am still very nervous that they may postpone my surgery. Is nicotine going to show up in my blood work? Will the doctors be testing my blood for these types of substances?
