What is considered a normal blood oxygen saturation level for a non-smoker how can this be affected by smoking and at what range is blood oxygen saturation considered impaired Resources appreciated.?

The Harvard link I've provided explains that blood oxygen saturation levels are normal at 95%-100%. This is what you would expect a healthy adult to be. A smoker who is also a 'healthy' adult could be as low as 90% ( and even that would be a little concerning depending on the person and their specific circumstances) Someone with COPD could be as low as 85%. Anything lower then the above in their specific circumstances and I would consider it very impaired, and likely an emergency situation. The link titled "journal article" explains how hemoglobin molecules that are filled with carbon monoxide molecules (HbCO) result in lower oxygen levels. Carbon monoxide is of course inhaled in cigarette smoke. Hope that helps!
