It can get worse: Being so young, perhaps you believe you can afford to lose 30 min of quality life up to several times a day. That might change and grow into longer periods. It's sad to watch someone burn money even if they feel they can afford it. Some may say it's your business, but no one will think it's smart. They're right not to. Please consider quitting.

Tip of the iceberg: Sorry to hear that you are smoking. You are probably experiencing bronchospasm when smoking and running and this may just be the tip of the iceberg. Please get evaluated since you may benefit from treatment.
