Smoking damages the lungs in several ways. It damages the cilia which are hair like structures which move contaminants from the lungs, therefore allowing the contaminants to remain. Smoking also damages the alveoli in the lungs, which are small air sacs that help deliver oxygen into the bloodstream and assist in removing carbon dioxide when you exhale.
