When a smoker's cilia are infected, their ability to clear mucus and pathogens from the respiratory tract is significantly impaired. This can lead to increased mucus buildup, chronic cough, and a higher risk of respiratory infections. The compromised function of cilia also contributes to inflammation and damage to lung tissue, worsening respiratory conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Ultimately, the infection exacerbates the overall decline in lung health associated with smoking.
