Best Answer

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

Nicotine is not the main problem. It is the tar, resins and other toxins in tobacco products that mostly cause the cillia to die and growths to form. Nicotine is, however, used in large doses as a pesticide so be careful not to overdo it with the patches.
