The moon is slowly moving away from the Earth, not towards it.

It's probably trying to get away from the second hand smoke.

So wait, if we weaken the angular momentum of the moon, and pull the moon closer, we can save the Earth from losing its moon! Cool!

(Actually, gravity is the only force affecting the moon. Angular momentum is not a force, and cannot be transmitted or dampened from the Earth to the moon.)
