Shortness of Breath Due to Smoking?

Does shortness of breath immediately after smoking mean that someone has become ill due to their habit?

iv just stopped smoking 4 days ago and already can breath better my cough is almost gone and i can actually smell smoke on other people. when you have shortage of breath after smoking its because your lungs are choked up with smoke give it up mate it feels great to be able to breath properly after all these years

Shortness of breath is normal for smoking. I used to chain smoke 40 cigarettes a day. I gave up yesterday but have had shortness of breath for months. It's nothing to worry about - as soon as you give up smoking your lungs will start repairing themselves.

It is you body readjusting to a healthy lifestyle you have taken up. But if you have any concerns contact your doctor

Since the tar restrics the air flowing into your lungs it does necessarily mean your ill but it does tell you that these carconagines are not good for your body.

i packed up 10 months ago because i was feeling increasingly breathless.
I am still having problems, and i am waiting for a lung function test.
It is a very scary time and i would recommend that if you are feeling breathless that you try to give up and see your g.p.

This is a common smoking thing. I am a smoker myself and have been cutting down to 5 or 6 a day. Already i can feel an improvement in my breathing when i do cardiovascular exercise.

I think its a warning to give up, so please think about it you don't want to end up with Emphysema.
I am a x smoker so I'm not lecturing you
I know how hard it is to give up but its worth it

SHORTNESS OFBREATH INDICATES A SERIOUS PROBLEM,PARTICULARLY IF IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A COLD SWEAT.IT CAN BE A BLOCKED HEART VESSEL OR SUCHLIKE.SEE YOU DOCTOR,STOP SMOKING.I,M LUCKY,I LIVED(I THINK).

Umm.
DUHH.
Yes, they'll always become ill, its just a matter of when.
They'll die too, but again, WHEN.

I ended up in the hospital for six days after trying smoking for a week. It may not visibly cause damage to the lungs, as seen by an x-ray, but the chemicals inhaled from smoking can trigger your body to react by making you short of breath. My adivice is to stop smoking and get to the hospital if this shortness of breath continues. I did and I am here to tell you you need help. It is my personal opinion that cigarettes are more deadly than big tobacco is currently will to admit.

GET TO THE HOSPITAL. dON'T PLAY AROUND!!!!

LEILA

It is an early indication of cancer.
