If you smoke for many years, these chemicals pass into your bloodstream and are filtered by the kidneys into your urine. The bladder is repeatedly exposed to these harmful chemicals, as it acts as a store for urine.

Smoking irritates the bladder and can make IC symptoms worse. Incontinence (leaking urine) and Overactive Bladder (OAB), impact more than 33 million men and women. Smoking bothers the bladder and can cause frequent urination. It can also cause coughing spasms that can lead to urine leakage.

This can cause changes to the cells of the bladder lining, which may lead to bladder cancer.

The intercellular signals may or may not be transferred through the gap junctions. The chemical signals are one of the type of the cell signals. The chemical signalling molecules generally have a receptor on the cells, where these molecules can bind and can be cause the activation of the cell. The chemical signals can also enter into the cells through active transport and facilitated diffusion. So, these type of transports does not go through the Gap junction.
