Air entering a tracheostomy would not be warmed, filtered for removal of microorganisms and dust particles, or humidified by the nasal passages or oropharynx. The patient may experience irritation around and inside the tracheostomy opening (due to dryness), coughing, and respiratory infections.

How is food and drink prevented from entering the respiratory passageways during swallowing?

Good question! The respiratory tube is placed in front of the food tube. The food should normally enter the respiratory passage. That would have disastrous results. But the same is protected by the flap called as epiglottis. This stands upright normally, when you breath. It closes temporarily the opening of the respiratory passage, when you are swallowing the food bolus. The food you swallow is either liquid or made into bolus by the saliva. You can not swallow the powder. It may enter the respiratory tract. This is one of the beautiful mechanism. You have thousands of such designs in your body. I believe that such designs are possible for God only.
