Because the smoke and additional toxins destroy the structure of the alveoli (the smallest part within the lung where the exchange of oxygen from the breathed in air and carbon dioxide from the blood takes place). This condition is referred to as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) which includes bronchitis and emphysema.
