    Hi GRAHAM06392​, predicting a possible event 10 - 20 years in the future is a bit difficult. i giess that healthy living, not smoking any exercise improves the chances of never using oxygen. bit like crossing a road, provided you look both ways you significantly reduce the likelihood of being run over! good luck.
