For a human who has smoked and destroyed the cilia by coating the inner wall of the trachea with tar, the mucus that is secreted will have no mechanism to bring it up the trachea to be swallowed except for the 'smoker's hack', a chronic cough that brings up the phlegm from the lungs. Those cilia do not regenerate so, the person will have the 'smoker's hack' for the rest of his life.

What might happen if you didn't have hair in your nose and cilia in your trachea?
Without hair in your nose and cilia in your trachea, foreign particles like dust, dirt, and pathogens could enter your respiratory system more easily.
