It can be damaged if you take them off try to use the air boover for cleaning dust from the keyboar.d

try to use very very delicate an vacoom cleaner, yes, you can take off the keys but is not recomended because you can damage very easy. Try to blow air and after use the portable vacum cleaner that will clean most of the dirty. Try next time to don`t eat or smoke over your laptop, it is not nice.

Use canned air duster that you can get from computer or office supply stores. Don't blast the junk out in the house and use short bursts - don't hold the can's trigger down. If it's really bad, you can use one of those pre-moistened sanitizer wipes (not soaking wet) and a very small slotted screw driver to gently clean in the gaps between the keys. BE VERY PATIENT and careful - do NOT twist pry the keys up as they are not designed to be replaceable. i don't recommend using a paper towel or napkin for this because it will leave lint or bits of paper behind. I'd recommend only cleaning the gaps and NOT try to clean "under" the edges of the keys. If you rush and or not extra careful when doing this, you will pop a key lose or off and probably won't be able to get it back on. I wouldn't advise a vacuum as the suction might be too strong and yank the keys right off.
