Brief summary: Smoking can damage lung functions as a result of high carbon monoxide and low hemoglobin oxygen carrying capacity in the blood. Smoking between young people continues to increase, which can cause respiratory function problems and lung diseases at an early age. In the studies, it has been seen that smoking may reduce the oppression and exercise ability.

Detailed description: Students who voluntarily accept participation in the study and sign the illuminated consent form, pulmonary status, gender, age, and body mass index to question data such as demographic data form, nicotine dependence levels Fagerstrom nicotine dependence scale, international physical activity scale (IPAQ), and Beck depression scale will be used. Then the respiratory function test will be evaluated with respiratory parameters and a 6-minute walking test. All evaluations made at the beginning of the study will be applied three times after the 8-week exercise program and the first month of control. First of all, the students will be grouped according to nicotine dependence levels, and exercise groups will be randomized according to each addiction level. Groups to be formed: Group 1: face-to-face exercise group; Group 2: online (telesağlık) exercise group; Group 3: control group.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Signing the illuminated consent form,
* To be smoking at least 1 cigarette a day for the last 6 months,
* Not having orthopedic or neurological findings that can prevent the exercises included in the study,
* To have low-medium level physical activity level,
* Not to have any lower respiratory infection in the last 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

* To the exercise sessions to be held on time and not to arrive regularly
