Questions about "as"
Consider the following sentence
"Studying is important for me as breathing for human"
From what I have learned, the structure "as...as" should be used when using "as" in comparison, so I deem that it would be
"Studying is 'as' important for me 'as' breathing for human"
And if it is used as a conjunction in comparison, it should be followed by a clause with a subject and a verb, then it would be
"Studying is important for as breathing 'is' for me"
Am I correct?
I am currently studying English and this problem has been stuck in my mind for a month...
Thanks to the people who will help me later...or tomorrow

Thank you Mister
But I still have no clue of how to use one "as" in comparison without using two "as" (as...as").
Like the first sentence, I don't know why "Studying is important for me as breathing for humans" is correct, but not
"Studying is as important for me as breathing for humans"?
OR
