I have a health question about ex smokers and their blood chemistry-relating to oxygen and carbon dioxide?
MABISKING asked:
In normal non smokers we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Is it possible that ex smokers and smokers may not be releasing enough carbon dioxide? If this is true does it build up in the blood stream forcing the liver and kidneys to take on the removal of this gas?
If this is so is their a way to get checked out at the doctors With out being laughed at?

Carbon dioxide is released primarily in the lungs. Don’t worry about that. Your lungs are releasing an adequate amount of carbon dioxide. It does not build up in the bloodstream.
