usually you will die or have some type of an attack either way it is bad ---------------> not usually the case unless your lungs are being flooded. A coughing reflex is triggered when solid materials contact the respiratory tract to expel foreign objects. However if that fails to clear the material (though it usually does), the particle may fall to the air sacs (alveoli) where it will elicit an inflammatory response in which macrophages clear or encapsulate the particle.
