- A.
20 minutes
- B.
8 hours
- C.
24 hours

After smoking a cigarette, carbon monoxide is absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. However, the body begins to eliminate carbon monoxide fairly quickly. Within 8 hours of quitting smoking, the carbon monoxide level in the blood returns to normal. This is because carbon monoxide has a relatively short half-life in the body, and the lungs are able to efficiently remove it from the bloodstream.Rate this question:

How long after your last cigarette does your ability to smell and taste improve?
- A.
20 minutes
- B.
8 hours
- C.
24 hours
- D.
48 hours
Correct Answer
D. 48 hoursExplanation
After quitting smoking, it takes approximately 48 hours for your ability to smell and taste to improve. Smoking damages the taste buds and olfactory receptors, which are responsible for detecting flavors and scents. The chemicals in cigarettes numb these receptors, causing a decrease in sensitivity. Once you quit smoking, the receptors start to heal, and within 48 hours, your sense of smell and taste begin to return to normal.Rate this question:
