I'm feeling really short of breath when I walk, jog, lift weights, or even climb stairs. I'm getting tired quickly, even with little tasks, and it's frustrating because I'm usually pretty active. It's becoming quite concerning. What could be causing this, and how should I address it?

I've been trying to quit smoking and managed to stop for a month, but I slipped back into having one cigarette a couple of times a week. Now whenever I do smoke, I feel this strong chest tightness and discomfort for a couple of days, and even hear a cracking sound in my trachea when I'm doing normal stretches. It's kinda freaking me out since I'm really trying to switch to a healthier lifestyle. Back when I was in the US, I used to take supplements like Glutathione, NAC, and Omega 3. Do you think those might help with what I'm experiencing, or should I be worried about something else?
