People sneeze when they have a cold primarily as a reflex to clear irritants from their nasal passages. The cold virus causes inflammation and increased mucus production, leading to congestion. Sneezing helps expel this mucus, along with any pathogens or irritants, to keep the respiratory system clear. This response is part of the body's defense mechanism to promote healing and prevent further infection.
