The nose is a very delicate piece of the human anatomy. Like other parts of the body, the cartilage which it
contains is sensitive to the world around it. Smoke that rises from a cigarette enters through the nose just like air
would. However, once it gets into the nose, it seeps into the cartilage and disrupts it. Sneezing and other minor
signs of irritation might occur in the beginning. However, provided the smoke stays in the cartilage, a process of
deterioration will occur after a prolonged period of time.
