The lungs become coated by deposits of tar, which makes them turn black.
The alveoli (air sacs) get pushed out of shape by the tar. The alveoli are where gas exchange took place, so this is made less efficient because hey are a different shape.
You are more at risk of lung infections, becasue the nicotine in cagarette smoke aneasthetises the cilia (little hairs) that line your throat and windpipe, so they cannot trap dirt and germs. This means that the germs can go down into your lungs when you breathe in, and this will make you ill.
You are more likely to develop lung cancer because tar is a carcinogen (cancer causing substance)
