I've recently had a punctured and collapsed lung from a stab wound, and it's only been a week since I was discharged from the hospital. I know I shouldn't smoke since it might collapse my lung again or cause breathing issues. But I've noticed I'm coughing up a bit of blood lately. I started vaping as an alternative and am wondering if that's causing the blood in my cough. Could vaping be the reason, or is this something else I should be worried about?

I've been having trouble breathing when I walk up two flights of stairs, and I start panting a lot during cricket. I struggle with just one over and I'm out of breath quickly. I used to be a chain smoker, and I'm really concerned if my past smoking might be affecting my breathing now. Could it be something serious, or is there a way to improve my situation?
