When you smoke, you burn the cillia (the tiny hairs that line your windpipe) off. This means hey can't waft away mucous and dirt leaving smokers more open to infection. That's also why they have a cough. Because the mucous is basically glued to their windpipe and they can't cough it up. Just a fact for you! I've just been doing about it all in Biology.
