Not in a way that would be familiar to us. Snails don’t have lungs. Or rather, they have something somewhat similar, but that evolved independently from what we know as lungs, so still pretty different ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system_of_gastropods#Terrestrial_gastropods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_system_of_gastropods#Terrestrial_gastropods) )
