If you smoke regularly, the chemicals from cigarettes harm your lungs and airways. Normally, tiny hair-like structures called cilia in your airways help clear out contaminants. However, smoking slows down their movement, allowing toxins to stay in your lungs. During sleep, cilia become more active, leading to the common "morning cough" in smokers as the body tries to expel these toxins.

Complications

Heavy smoking over many years can permanently damage cilia, reducing your respiratory system's ability to clean itself. This increases your risk of infections and irritations due to bacteria, viruses, and other pollutants. Long-term accumulation of harmful chemicals can lead to severe health issues like emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung cancer.
