Yes. I used to smoke 2-3 a day and fucked my breathing up.

I can't tell you how many cigarettes are going to lead to a significant change in your respiration but what I can tell you is that smoking
>causes mutation in a1-antitrypsin which leads to greater elastase activity in pulmonary parenchyma leading to emphysema down the line
>irritates the respiratory walls, leading to inflammation, increased mucus secretion in the tracts, and even metaplasia to neoplasia over time
>makes you look like a fag

>is inhaling smoke daily going to have negative effect on my breathing
Yes it will, you see even if you would spend 7minutes in front of a bonfire 5 times a day that would effect your breathing
Smoke is not good for your lungs mate, also 5 per day is enough to get you addicted stop it while you can
Have some healthy habit to get your mind off of depression, eat raisins or something when you get the blues

My brother is a med student and one time the topic of smoking came up in class.
Apparently lung tissue regenerates fast enough, that up to like 3-5 cigs a day doesn't really affect your health at all.

I'm in med school and that's not true at all. Lung tissue regeneration is faster than say nervous tissue regeneration but it's not to the extent that smoking cigarettes will not have a deleterious effect on your respiratory system. Plus if a1-antitrypsin mutates, you won't be able to regenerate cells fast enough since elastase has high turnover.
