I was not having this problem before but now smooth does not work at all. I have subdivided the model 223 times and I still do not get any of these lines to disappear. Even when I pick a particular section and add a manual smooth to it. The lines are somewhat gone, but still there.Can anybody help me

Took me a minute to find it but you need to have your smooth preferences selected to show smoothing. Otherwise, the model will look tesselated like the this one. Hope this is helpful!

I think you accidentally activated linear subdivision.
