What happens if I smoke again?
If I'm clean after being a smoker for a year or so before quitting in late November and I smoke once, does that automatically take me to the long time period for getting clean? I ask because I want to smoke tonight but am concerned that it will take a long time to rid my body of it if I do it this one and only time after being clean from smoking a lot for so long.
Will it just be as if I had not smoked before and only take a few days to a week to be clean again?

Your previous smoking, especially if that far in the past, won't affect your metabolic depletion on future smoking. If you only smoke once after that long of a break I'd imagine you'd be clean in no more than a week.
