Evaluation of the effects of addiction levels and physical activity capacities of smokers on exhaled carbon monoxide level
The data we obtained showed that smoking addiction has harmful effects such as increasing CO in the body, but there is no relationship between physical activity and the amount of exhaled CO. It has been observed that quitting smoking and complying with lifestyle change recommendations are an important necessity for a healthier life. To improve patients' overall health outcomes, family physicians are crucial in helping patients quit smoking and encouraging lifestyle modifications. This study might have encouraged the reflection of smoking habits and thus motivated quitting.
