Heavy to breathe in after smoking 5 packs of cigarettes?

Your lungs

It's probably an allergy of some sort. You would have to smoke for MANY years, before you would even begin to develop some sort of "heaviness" in your chest when you breath. Let the non-smokers think what they will - they don't know because they don't smoke. I've been smoking probably longer than you've been alive, and I KNOW that to be a fact!

Smoking is affecting your lung capacity. It narrows down your air passage ways making it difficult to get air in and out of the chest.

I would advise you to take steps to quit smoking before things get worse. It can also give you cancers of mouth, throat, lungs, kidney, liver, pancreas and so on.

A relative of mine who smoked 2 cigarettes a day for almost 10 years got throat cancer. He cannot even swallow his own saliva. It's too painful.

The same thing is happening to me :( Sadly I don't have any advice. I'm seeing a doctor soon. I smoked for 2 years and quit for a month but still am wheezing and can't breathe right. It sucks because just a few months ago I was breathing fine so I wish I quit a little bit sooner.

You know what though, at least we quit so it won't get worse. I hope you feel better soon! I would see a doctor.

I would Call your Doctor and make an appointment.

It could be that the phlegm is breaking up in your lungs, which would be a good thing.
