Mucous Membrane
When you smoke, your mucous membrane gives off more mucous than needed. This extra mucous cant be moved and later is altered as more smoking occurs.
Cilia
Smoking can really effect the cilia. When someone smoke, that smoke can damage the cilia and cause it to become unable to produce the mucus used to protect the lung from infections.
Capillaries
Lung Tissues
Alveoli
When someone smokes, they put a real tole on the capillaries. When you inhale the smoke and it comes in contact with the capilarries, it becomes harder for the blood to move through the capillaries.
Lung tissues that can be damaged from smoking:
- Cilia
- Alveoli
- Capillaries
- Mucous Membrane

If the mucous membrane is unable to produce the correct amount of mucus and the cilia becomes damage, this can hurt the alveoli. The alveoli becomes less elastic/stretchy making it harder for the individual to breathe.
