The Respiratory system. We breathe oxygen containing air into our lungs. Our hearts send 'old' blood to the lungs where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added, and that oxygen enriched blood is carried around the body until it lands up in the lungs again. So is it really a joint effort by the circulatory system and the respiratory system.

How is smoking harmful to your lungs?
Your lungs are the reasons you body has Oxygen. In your lungs, we do produce mucus, which we cough up because of the cilia in our lungs. Smoking causes this cilia to not move the mucus out of your lungs which in turn causes problems.
