Smoking is proven to cause a shortness of breath. This can have detrimental effects on an athlete's endurance, making aerobic activity more difficult. Also, a smoker's heartbeat is three times faster than that of a non-smoker, so in competition, the body wastes a lot of heartbeats just trying to keep up with non-smokers." Smoking can also make you run out of air faster.
