News Medical (3/11) reports Bedfont Scientific, the producer of the Smokerlyzer carbon monoxide monitory, “is urging people to start their smoke-free journey as No Smoking Day approaches” in the U.K. on March 11. According to the article, “By analyzing a breath sample, the Smokerlyzer can tell how much CO is in your lungs and blood that has been inhaled from smoking” and can act as a “motivational visual aid to encourage patients to quit smoking and to measure their progress whilst doing so, helping to prevent cancer and other smoking-related diseases.” Bedfont Scientific Managing Director Jason Smith says, “No Smoking Day is the perfect opportunity to quit the habit. The UK is already moving towards a smoke-free future and quitting begins by visiting your local Stop Smoking Service and asking for a Smokerlyzer breath test.” News Medical says, “According to the World Health Organisation, tobacco smoking is responsible for 8 million deaths each year, of which 1.2 million deaths are actually non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.”
