Mucus can't be moved out of the lungs
The job of the cilia is to move around mucas and other stuff. so without the cilia your mucas would be blocked.

The paralysis of the cilia that line the airways impairs the respiratory system's ability to clear mucus, pathogens, and debris from the lungs. This dysfunction can lead to an accumulation of mucus, increasing the risk of infections, chronic inflammation, and respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Additionally, it can exacerbate conditions like asthma and cystic fibrosis, ultimately compromising overall lung health and function.
paralyzed cilia lining airways
Cilia clear mucus from your airways.
The tar from the cigarettes sticks to the cilia, the tiny hair-like structures that line the airways in the lungs. The cilia typically acts as little brooms that sweep out harmful dirt - but when cigarette is smoked, the cilia can't work properly because the tar sticks to the cilia and is therefore covered

Cilia in the respiratory tract help to sweep contaminated mucus out of the airways and move it towards the throat where it can be expelled or swallowed. This helps to clear the airways of bacteria, viruses, and other particles that may cause infection or irritation.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium have projections called cilia, which help in moving mucus and particles along the surface of the tissue. These projections aid in maintaining the health of the respiratory system by trapping and removing harmful substances from the airways.
