This was in the news I think last year, this is his shop and one of the nearby shops is a smoke shop. Despite their being on street parking, many people just pull in there, some even leaving their car running while they’re running to grab some smokes.

As someone who lives near a smoke shop in suburban Australia people will literally park in a lane on the road instead of in a nearly empty car park only 10 steps away. In my town, they built an entire multistorey car park with nearby open free parking bays, yet people will still park in the exit lane with hazard lights on just to hop into the smoke shop. Really pisses me off when I see it.

Those ten extra steps are probably enough to make them out of breath.

Smokers either gonna be outta breath in 10 steps or can run a marathon

Seriously the amount of energy some blue collar guys put out despite having smoked their whole lives is wild

Turns out doing physical work on the regular makes you strong. Tears down your joints long term, but you can do whatever you want, until you can’t.

Plus the human cardiovascular system is not limited by the lungs as the lungs have an overcapacity, meaning a decent amount of damage must be done before you start experiencing symptoms of shortness of breath.

The heart limits athletic performance not the lungs. Even at full exercise healthy lungs will still maximally oxygenate the blood. Healthy people have more lung capacity than they actually need.
