How long have you been running? I don't smoke and it still took a long time just to get to where I can jog 2 miles w/out sucking air towards the end. I started out pushing myself very hard on the eliptical machine at the gym... then moved onto running. I'd walk a lap then run a lap. But run it at a pace you can't sustain for very long. Increase the running portion of this gradually until you build up endurance. If you keep pushing yourself a little more each day it'll come around for you.
