Smokers were observed to have grossly prolonged nasal mucus clearance. It was also inferred that the persons smoking bidi/unfiltered cigarettes had significant depression of ciliary activity. The clearance was prolonged as the number of cigarettes smoked and the duration of smoking increased. It was greater among those who gave a history of nasal exhalation of inhaled smoke. Nasal mucociliary clearance measurement is easy to measure and can be a useful index in evaluating the effect of smoking on the ciliary activity of the mucosa of the respiratory tract.
观察到吸烟者的鼻腔黏液清除明显延长。还推断出吸比迪烟/无过滤嘴香烟的人纤毛活动明显受抑制。随着吸烟数量和吸烟时间的增加，清除时间延长。有从鼻腔呼出吸入烟雾病史的人清除时间更长。鼻腔黏液纤毛清除测量易于进行，可作为评估吸烟对呼吸道黏膜纤毛活动影响的有用指标。
