day 4 out of the way

[SnowWight]

Day 4 is almost over. Checked my Carbon Monoxide level at work today. When I smoked it was well over 20ppm........now down to ZERO!!!!!! That of a non-smoker!!!! Hooray for me

wow it's gone down that quick? I often wondered how long it took for our bodies to self clean, wow, our bodies are so amazing aren't they? we have a few big fat zeros on the forum at the moment

Day 4 and a 0 ha well done you SW

[SnowWight]

It takes 72 hours for all the Carbon monoxide to go back to normal levels which is 0-6ppm (parts per million). Obviously you can breath in Carbon Monoxide from the air (from car fumes etc) so you wont always get a zero reading. I am lucky enough to live somewhere where there is little pollution. Tried the machine on one of our Drs who smokes and he set off the alarm on it.....over 20ppm. I think I scared him lol!

Ha down to zero indeed i don't think so the machine must have been broken my best was 2 and when it went back up to 3 I decided to stop measuring it!!

But seriously very well done 4 days is a major achievement.

machine definatley not broken as the Dr measured more than 20 on the same machine. Happy that day four has gone well. Think it was easier to be at work rather than at home as I was at the weekend. A few of my patients are on Champix too, so it was nice to compare notes. Now thinking about what to get for my one week gift to myself......hmmm.

Great work,

I wish I'd had my CO levels checked I think it would have helped spur me on.

More than half way through the 1st week now.

Cheers

OMG send that Dr here, I can't stand the thought of a Dr smoking it's all proper wrong

72 hours..............thanks for that, I never knew that, I knew the nicotine is supposed to be out of your system at this time but wasn't sure about the CM haha I've been running this place for over 2 years and I didn't know that

aw poor Bob SW just agree the machine was broken Bob is a little delicate about these zeros
