the correlation between lung function data ( mmef ) and smoking habits is much better ( r = 0.73 ) than with the measured mucociliary clearance rates ( r = 0.3 ) , suggesting that inborn errors of mucociliary transport are nearly as important as external lung damage due to smoking and infection in the development of chronic bronchitis and bronchial carcinoma .
