the problems they have are that the dirt that is in the lungs does not brushed out by the cilia, causing the lungs to be filled with black dirt, making it harder to breathe.

When does cilia do not resume proper function after smoking?

Your cilia do not get affected by the occasional smoking. Cilia are affected in chronic smokers. But then there is probably nothing like occasional smoking. You are either a chronic smoker or nonsmoker. Smoking two cigarettes can make you addicted to smoking. Your cilia get damaged by chronic smoking. The pseudstratified ciliated epithelium is eventually replaced by stratified squamous epithelim in case of the chronic smokers. Such type of change is called as metaplasia. If you stop the smoking the original epithelium is resumed eventually.

What happens when tobacco smoke is inhaled into respiratory system?

When tobacco smoke is inhaled into the respiratory system, the cilia begin to beat slowly. With time, the cilia, which act like a filter, disintegrate and eventually die away. This leads to smokers getting what is known as a smoker's cough.

What is the smokers cough?

When you go through periods of not smoking, like when you're sleeping at night, your damaged cilia can't move the phlegm up to your throat where you can swallow it. Smoking does cause extra mucus to develop in order to get foreign toxins out of your lungs. This makes you cough.
