Why smoker's are having cough reflex or smoker's cough?

The cigerette's smoke had many harmfull chemicals which can effect you. When you breathe, the gas swirls inside your resporatory system and the chemicals in the smoke effect the lining of the air passages and tubes. There are these hair like structures called cillia which trap the dust particles in the air and these chemicals in the smiokes effect the cilla and cause it to stop beating. There are another group of cells ( mucus-secreting cells) which secrete mucus which trap the dust particles and when the cillia was suppised to move to and fro to bring the mucus and dust particles to the throat to then be swallowed, lots of mucus is produced but instead of being carried by the beating of the cillia, our breathing brings the mucus to the throat but it cannot be swallowed because there is so much. This is a smokers cough.

Why do you have hairs in your nose?

The tiny hairs in your nose are called "cillia". The function of cillia is to keep insects, dust and other foreign particles from being breathed into your lungs and sinuses. They serve as an air filter. The mucus in your nose serves much the same purpose and lets you blow out the particles caught by the cilia.

What is the job of the cillia mucus and blood vessels?

Mucus traps foreign particles as it enters the conducting parts of the respiratory system. Cilia are microstructures lining the epithelial layer of those conducting parts that act to sweep up the mucus-bound foreign particles that otherwise would enter the lungs.
