5
CO(ppm) Cigarette consumption Indicator
0 - 6 Non smoker Green
7 -10 Light smoker Amber
11 – 20 Heavy smoker Red
20+ Very heavy smoker Flashing red + alarm
Please note that some urban areas may have high environmental
levels of CO. This can cause a rise in exhaled CO of a few ppm
above that which is normally present on the breath. In these cases
it is possible for a non-smoker to appear at the bottom of the ‘light
smoker’ range (7 – 10 ppm).
