If you assume that lung damage is to an extent irreversible and accumulates over time (peobbat less true for pre-puberty children than adults), then you'd expect lung damage to be less immediately fatal in the young yet still have similar effect, just delayed.

That is not a valid assumption. There is no evidence that lung damage is common in children, or that it is irreversible.
