Best Answer

Smoker's cough indicates you have damaged cilia, which aside from smoking can create other health hazards. You are much more susceptible to respiratory illnesses because these important fibers aren't doing what they can to remove germs from your system. Cilia are a great defense against airborne illnesses, especially when they function normally. You also may have a more difficult time recovering from colds, and be more prone to bronchial and respiratory infections because your cilia are not working.

Mostly though, if you have smoker's cough, you likely know you've been smoking for a long time. Possibly it's time to consider that your body is sending you a clear message when you must cough and cough in the morning before you can start accomplishing any of your daily tasks. It's not only unpleasant, but a signal that cigarette and tobacco smoking are simply not good for the body.

What is the epithelium lining the trachea capable of?

Epithelial cells in the respiratory tract protect the aveoli from infection by secreting mucus that traps bacteria and other particles. Micro villi push the mucus back up towards the digestive system in something called a "mucus escalator". In chronic smokers these epithelial cells actually change type, removing the mucus escalator function. This loss of function is the pathophysiology behind smokers cough, as they must cough up the mucus they produce.
