The cartoons were Foretold <| sep |> smokers have it tougher , I know . I can ' t just say to you like everybody else go for a run . because , well , your lungs are shit . So here is the deal two birds with one stone will be killed Swim . Can ' t smoke in the pool . yes it is a pain to go find a public pool , get into a stupid swimsuit with goggles and do stupid laps , but you know what ? You will feel better . And then the next day , do it again . and the next . That ' s my ' you didnt ask ' idea . You didnt smoke four 4 months . thats massive . actually your lungs are better . I changed my mind , go for a light 30 minute jog three times a week . I know some people have weight issues , but this is just to get the heart pumping , the blood flowing . it makes everything better . There is no room for agitation in a relaxed , post exercise heart . Glad you posted . You can do this . Keep being great , it will get easier
