s. 1. if your inhaler is 5-6 years old you need a new one. the old medicine may not even be good anymore. 2. if you have any sort of asthma don't smoke anything. it will make your lungs worse even if it's not immediately apparent. 3. if you can find a doctor see one because having trouble getting enough air when breathing normally is a classic sign of asthma or possible even copd. however doctors can help you treat your condition so it doesn't get worse. 4. if your problem is social smoking it's good to learn to advocate for yourself. it's your life your body. it's up to you to decide whether smoking is worth the risk or not not the people you are with.
i feel like i'm not getting enough air when breathing normallly. so i've tried smoking multiple times with friends probably a grand total of 7-10 times including cigarettes marijuana and hashish over a span of 5 years. it doesn't hurt and does not affect my daily life but it still does bother me; and to be frank just scares me. . i know that smoking does cause lung/heart disease my family does have a history of heart disease and strokes and i personally have a minor case of asthma. using my inhaler (which the last time i used was 5-6 years ago) helps.
