How long could we really hold our breath?

ounce i was holding my breath and i kept getting the feling that i was running out of air so i kept saying "im not dying, im not dying" and it felt like i was getting more air and i pushed the limit to 2 min! mabye its mind over matter

Answer:
there's an extreme sport called "free diving" where people dive to some depth without breathing aids. Think the world record is around 7mins?

I think you'd pass out, the body's way of protecting itself against possible death.

more like lungs over.. not smoking

It's fun to watch infants hold their breath while Mom gets frantic so afraid the little brat is going to die. Spoiled baby wins right? Maybe at some point it has actually lost consciousness for a couple of seconds. As soon as you pass out your body starts up the breathing again which may not be too good if you are under water. With a baby holding its breath you can let it drop a short distance to the bed or a cushion. It is startled and takes a breath. Maybe it's a silly kid playing a crazy game.
