Right. Like one thing that cancer needs is oxygen. So if we stop breathing (instead of laboriously stopping smoking--that's hard), then we can slow down cancer.

I sense you were trying to make a different point than what you made. Cancer _is_ treated in that way, that is basically how chemo works.

    Whoosh. No, chemotherapy is not the same as holding your breath, and no, most cancer drugs don't have anything to do with oxygen, except the (unwanted) side effect that they can lower red blood cell count, causing anemia and low oxygen levels.
