Smokers have repeatedly damaged the cilia in their trachea, larynx and lungs. Cilia are tiny, hair-like structures that help sweep mucous out of the air-ways and into the pharynx to be coughed out or swallowed. The toxins in smoke kill these projections and create more mucous. When a person has pneumonia, they also have more mucous. This elevated mucous count with the depressed cilia count gives the lungs more work than they can handle. Therefore, the mucous of pneumonia cannot be properly disposed of. This may eventually lead to death.
