A pharmacist that swims laps at the pool with me had a theory about my apnea abilities: smoking for all those years conditioned my lungs to get by on less oxygen and on higher level of carbon monoxide.

I don't know. If true, I do not recommend this as conditioning or training for apnea. Smoking is a hideous addiction.

Peace,
