inhale

Fill your lungs

To inhale is to draw air or other substances into the lungs—the opposite of exhale.

Beyond breathing, inhale often implies deliberate intake: inhaling cigarette smoke, inhaling fumes.

Informally, to inhale food is to eat it rapidly and eagerly: He inhaled three slices of pizza before I finished one.
