It could be an MS thing or it could be what Dejibo said. I have no experience with the smoking, but one of my first sx was breathlessness. My first MS Specialist said it was a sx called air hunger and it is an actual MS thing. It can also be the MS hug squeezing your diaphragm.

Do the breathing exercises and see if it gets better. If not, have it checked out. It could be something else entirely that has nothing to do with MS or smoking. We tend to chalk everything up to being a neurological sx when sometimes it is something else medically wrong.
