When ever I play basketball Im out of breath really quick. If Im not smoking cigarettes and only smoking an e-cig will my ability to run for long periods of time increase???

I have a friend with asthma and COPD, who bought the Ecig. There are several kinds and she got the one without nicotine, but has had to wear the nicotine patches too. She says she’s already feelng better and thinks she’s really going to love it. They have them in our area now, but the dadgum starter kit is $69 plus tax…I would hate to pay that much and it not work dontcha know? She said they make them in nicotine free, regular, menthol, and low. You get a battery and 5 cartridges to start with. She said she was told it’s the tar and other chemicals in cigs that do the harm, not the nicotine?

She said she loves it because you can smoke it in places where smoking has been banned, there isn’t any smoke and no smell. She said there’s an atomizer that comes with it if you want the visual effects of smoke.

I know its different for everyone. for 14 years my parents smoked in the car with me, with the windows up. and constantly in the house. I smoke cigarettes, too. Ive probably smoked a good 350-400 so far. how many cigarettes until i see bad health problems?

Every one different but I smoked for 25 years, I have asthma that is not controllable. A year ago I quit, my asthma… not very controlled today the doctor say that I need to go to a specialist maybe have COPD or beginning stages of emphysema. Everyone said that when I quit I would feel better, that my lungs would repair themselves, that I wouldn’t cough that black crud up any more, my sense of smeel would improve… Well It’s been more than a year and guess what , my friend, I can smell better, and after 9 months I dont cough that black crud up any more, but all that other stuff I mentioned HA! maybe I quit too late , I’m still on 4 different asthma meds and those dont keep me attack free, I’ve got a dr. appointment in a week to see if my lungs are infact more damaged than I think. OMG I’m soooo scared that there going to tell me that theres some kind of dark spot on my lungs, I’m so worried that I’ve developed a twitch in my eye that acts up really bad when I start to think about the x-rays I’m gonna have. Funny none of that ever came to mind when I did smoke, always thought that "that wont happen to me" well my friend in a week + however long it takes to get my results back I’ll find out, maybe it did happen to me… we’ll see. The best thing I could tell you is that you should quit. be strong, You’ve not smoked that long, the sooner you stop the easier. Luck to you
