Exhaled Carbon Monoxide

We had an opportunity at work to try a breathing test to see how much carbon monoxide was in our breath. I was a bit scared as even though I have quit, I was a long term smoker. One of the heavy smokers did the test and scored over 20ppm (parts per million), the other smokers scored around 10ppm. A female who has never smoked scored 2ppm, so I thought I would try and scored 4ppm, which is a really good score apparently.
Just something interesting...
I don't think I would have attempted the test if I had still been smoking, it's great to be able to do these things now as a "normal" person! I'm sure there will be lots more things to discover along the way :)
