Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques Pursed Lip Breathing  ACBT- To Improve airway clearance and enhance lung function by using a series of controlled breathing exercises. 5 cycles 3 times per week for 4 weeks Pursed Lip Breathing- to enhance lung efficiency, promote ventilation and reduce shortness of breath by prolonging exhalation and keeping the airways open longer. 5 breaths cycle 3 times a week for 4 weeks 
Comparator Agent  Peak Expiratory flow Meter   The device measures how well the air flows out of the lungs. 3 readings for 1 best reading

Brief Summary  

Patients with a history of Smoking sooner or later develop respiratory symptoms, wheezing, cough with sputum, chest tightness, and reduced tidal breathing(8). Previous studies show that ACBT effectively clears bronchial secretion and improves lung function. Pursed Lip Breathing exercises reduce breathlessness and improve quality of life. This brings the need to check the effectiveness of the active cycle of breathing technique and pursed lip breathing on lung efficiency in young chronic male and female smokers.
