I think you are asking about terrestrial snails. Check this out:
Since snails in the Helix genus are terrestrial rather than fresh-water or marine, they have developed a simple lung for respiration. Many other snails that belong to the class Gastropoda have gills instead.
Oxygen is carried by the blood pigment hemocyanin. Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of blood through the capillaries. A muscular valve regulates the process of opening and closing the entrance of the lung. When the valve opens, the air can either leave or come into the lung. The valve plays an important role in reducing water loss and preventing drowning

They don't breathe exactly, they take in oxygen through their skin.

Through its skin, just like a slug.
