   Good morning all!
   
   Did (or does) anyone have difficulty breathing with a mask on while being a smoker? I would have severe shortness of breath when I smoked and wore a mask.  Now that I don't smoke, I could wear a mask all day without being short of breath.
   
   Just curious if anyone else experienced this?

   Another great reason for quitting during COVID!

   Hi lesleyaf,
   
   I didn’t have any problems with shortness of breath but certainly had the awful smell of cigarette smoke lingering in my mask after a cigarette break, certainly don’t miss that stinky cigarette smell!
