It is clear that smoking decreases the capacity of the lungs. They have to work much harder to keep individuals breathing! Since the lungs have to work harder, individuals who smoke cannot exercise as much as others. They may already be breathing hard without exercise. Individuals who do not smoke will not be at the same level until the middle of their workout routine! They will not be able to exercise without feeling exhausted and incredibly winded shortly after starting. They may not exercise at all!

However, just two to three weeks after an individual quits smoking, their lung capacity will increase. Their circulation will improve as well, and all of their cells will get more oxygen-rich blood! As a result, individuals will be able to exercise more and get healthy again! Many individuals find that exercise is a great way to decrease stress, which can help take away some of the cravings for cigarettes they will encounter.
