The lungs are the primary respiratory organs. They act as filters for the air the body breathes in and normally are a healthy pink color.
Inhaling smoke from cigarettes can damage the lung tissue as seen in a smoker's lung. Over time, carbon molecules from inhaled smoke deposit in the lung tissue, giving it a blackened appearance.
Smoking is the main risk factor for emphysema (also called COPD) and greatly increase the likelihood of lung cancer.
Smoking has also been linked to diseases that affect the cardiovascular system, such as atherosclerosis, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
The best advice is if you't smoke, don't start. If you do smoke, it's never too late to quit.

Smoking is a chemical process.
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.
it has to do with you smoking.

Smoking weed, smoking weed, and smoking weed
The difference between primary and secondary smoking is very simple. Primary smoking is actually smoking the cigarette yourself, whereas secondary or second hand smoking is inhaling fumes of other smokers around you, whilst you are not actually smoking the cigarette. That is why the smoking ban was introduced and more and more smokers are smoking in smoking shelters. Which, not only provides shelter for them when they are smoking outside, but it also protects non smokers from the harmful fumes.
