Any interest in taking up swimming?

One of my friends from decades ago had asthma right through his teenage years, and was extremely thin and weedy. Couldn't exercise much without coughing fits and similar.

He took up swimming (!), and although it was slow going at first he eventually developed good lung capacity. And became a body builder. :)

Suspecting the same thing would work for anyone with not much (or damaged) lung capacity.

I have back issues too. I should really take up swimming. Thank you for suggesting that.

Vaping + BJJ helped me finally stop. I finally stopped vaping after a few months when I realized I was hitting a plateau with conditioning for BJJ.

I smoked for 23 years and was diagnosed with COPD at about year 17. I still have serious lung issues but they do get better, slowly. Also I want to say that my body has adapted to function better in lower oxygen availability environment - as long as I don't burst cardio over a level I'm not accustomed to, I can keep it up for hours esp. endurance

I wish you great strength and recovery man.

Becareful with high nic. Dad started getting high blood pressure from vaping 24mg for 2-4 years. He's lowered it to 6-12mg solutions and have gotten better. His previous habit was about 2 packs a week, and in high stress situations a pack a day.

24mg is so high, i started with 6mg and then went to 3mg. For me the whole point is to smoke the least amount of nicotine and try to keep it healthy (will try quitting soon as well).

Yeah... its even corrosive. And its a pretty messed up nerve toxin.
