(This is a rough estimate on the surface area so just consider this answer don't take it for a final.)

Condition which smooth muscles contractions reduce the size of air passageways in the lungs?
Asthma
Why would a disease that causes the paralysis of smooth muscles be a life-threatering disorder?
Smooth muscles are responsible for organ function, such as the lungs and intestines. If these muscles are paralyzed, it can lead to severe complications like respiratory failure or bowel obstruction, both of which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
Which respiratory tubes are primarily composed of smooth muscle and affect the flow of air to the alveoli?
There are no smooth muscle lined tubes in the respiratory system. The air is pulled into the lungs when the rib cage expands. The lungs are attached to the inside of the rib cage and move as it moves. Now there are skeletal muscles between the ribs called intercostal muscles. These muscles affect the rise and fall of the ribs during respiration.
