Nose. Is it true that breathing through the nose is better because the mucus filters the air? Heard this somewhere a long time ago.

Nose breather. My GF is a mouth breather.

If I put my hand over her mouth, it's funny b/c she panics like she can't breathe at all. DUH, you have a nose!! :D

Crap, now I've become self aware of my breathing and have to consciously make an effort instead of relying on the automatic reflex.

I can't stand mouth breathers. Unless you have something physically wrong with your nasal/respiratory system learn to breath through your nose! Even the Geico cavemen can do it!

Nose, but it frequently gets congested... especially when I sleep, so therefore mouth.

Nose unless I'm out of breath

Mouth breathers are weird, their mouths are always semiopen, making them look a little retarded

mouth, I cannot get enough air in through my nose in order to meet the requirement of survival. On person says someone they know freaks out if you dover their mouth, I would do the same, if my mouth were taped shut I would die, i have tried before actually, seeing how long i can go breathing only through nose and its like 2 minutes before i need air.
