Lining in Your Nose, What Is Its Purpose?

Question by Typical Cat: Lining in your nose, what is its purpose?
The lining in my nose is basically gone thanks to drugs. I am a bit concerned though. My question is; Is there anything i should be worried about?

FYI: I don’t plan on snorting drugs anymore, also i tried googling this, got nothing.
I am concerned it may get infected easily?

Don’t know if any of these links will help you:

From the above link “One may also experience foul secretions and whistling through the hole in the nose. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a cocaine user who snorts the drug may also lose their sense of smell, experience swallowing difficulties and develop a chronically runny nose.”

Spent some time looking and didn’t see anything about increased infection risk.
