Why does smoking cause damages but no pain?

417 viewsBiologyOther

Just watched the Kurgazart video on smoking. Damn the effects are nasty! The video said that smoking causes lots of tiny wounds in the body.

So why is it not directly and immediately painful? The wounds may be small, but neurons are pretty small too. The euphoria from smoking should be shorter than the last-lasting wounds.

Pain is a natural deterrent. If smoking brought pain, even if it’s pain after pleasure, less people would smoke regularly. But somehow all those nasty chemicals only cause damages but no pain?

because most of the damages are happening on a lower level, you are not literally ending up with a cut somewhere in your lung, you are damaging the cells or even what is happening in the cells.

you dont feel any of that until theres so much damage done to the cells that large amounts of them are either dead or are mutating into cancer.
