respiratory bronchioles
If by passageways, you mean the bronchi and bronchioles, they're there as a tunnel to supply oxygen from the outside to the lungs.
Ciliated epithelial cells are found in your pancreas, liver, lung and sinuses.
The ciliated epithelium in the lung is located on the inside of the bronchioles. The cilia and the moist surface lining captures dirt or toxins that are inhaled. This is coughed up with some of the moist secretions as mucus in order to cleanse the lungs and keep them clear for gas exchange.

They use mucus created by the root hair cells, to retract the duct between the oviduct and the lung.
abnormal chloride channels that trap salt inside cells lining the lung passageways.
Respiratory bronchioles and the alveoli are the smallest part in case of the lungs. There are millions of them in your lungs.
the bronchus is one of the major passageways of the lungs that branches off of the trachea.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
While nicotine has effects on blood flow, these effects are not as significant as the damage to the lung and irritation of the air passages to the lung. One such problem is "smoker's cough", caused by damage to the epithelia of the windpipe. Emphysema caused by the body's immune response to cigarette smoke causes a major loss in lung function and debilitating disease.
Tar build up in the lungs, resulting in ciliated epithelial cells not working correctly, and goblet cells being unable to produce mucas efficiently. Increased risk of lung cancer and 'smokers cough'
