fwiw, bwannavon, i just dunno - i smoke almost a pack a day
 and
my SAC is only about 8litres/minute (you non-metric american
types can calc your imperials yourselves, but a quick guess
puts it in the .25-.3 range
 
so if i (a decidedly non-superman and -shudder- smoking diver)
can get those rates - and my regular buddies with 10-15% lower
consumption rates - and without any of this so-called zen
breathing or skip breathing / breath holding - then i do not
think ol george at a .25 is special - nor did i notice him
claiming to be  

the point is, smoker or not, i am in good shape, i dive 20+
times a month and if i can do it so can others - dive, dive,
dive, dive, dive, practice and train
 
btw: stop drinking during your si
