What problems do smokers have when ciliated hairs are affected?

The tiny delicate cilia are killed by tobacco smoke; and as a result, smokers have few if any cilia remaining in their lungs. Because of this, and the constant irritation of smoke, smokers are much more susceptible to all sorts of respiratory problems.


Why is the slowing down of the cilia in smokers dangerous?

Slowing down of cilia in smokers is dangerous because cilia play a critical role in clearing mucus and other toxins from the respiratory system. When cilia function is impaired, this can lead to a buildup of mucus and pollutants in the lungs, increasing the risk of respiratory infections and diseases like bronchitis and pneumonia.


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.

Cilia are tiny hair like fibers that are located in our broncial tubes. They keep stuff from going into your lungs that don't belong there more or less like a filter.

If a young person quits smoking the cilia may grow again but for older smokers the chances are slim that the cilia will ever come back.

What feature of the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract is responsible for the smokers cough?

Ciliary dysfunction in the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract is responsible for the smoker's cough. Smoking damages the cilia, which are tiny hairs that help to move mucus and debris out of the airways. When cilia are impaired, mucus and irritants accumulate, leading to coughing as the body tries to expel them.
