How do carcinogenic substances cause cancer? What happens in your body?

Answer 1

so some carcinogens we see more than others (like cigarettes for example, are more accessible and we can see them/buy them everywhere…) whether you apply it on the skin, breath it in, or get radiation therapy it will go super deep into your cells! with more and more of it you ‘consume’ or are around the higher chance you *could* get cancer.

when it gets super deep into your cells like that and can’t get filtered out it kinda starts just relaxing in your body and is now your new best friend 🙂 it also promotes the idea that your cells should just do whatever tf they want and overpopulate.
