Is it easy to get a collapsed lung? how often do you need to smoke to get this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it is not. Smoking while not the immediate cause of a collapsed lung, causes a lot of problems with health in general and makes you more prone to all kinds of lung problems. Best to stop
