Can Smoking Cause Sensitive Teeth And Discoloration?

Hi there ! I just got a root canal done on my one front tooth about 2 weeks ago, ive been trying to lower the amount of times I smoke because I was a heavy smoker before the treatment and I figured it would be bad for it, but i've noticed the tooth begin to go darker & im now starting to feel a slight sensitivity to cold & im wondering if its maybe from the smoking ?

Well there is no doubt that smoking has role on it but my concerns that if you got your root canal treated, you will not be able to sense any kind of pain, A tooth that has had a root canal can fail but the symptoms will be pressure or throbbing. it could be another tooth beside this tooth.

P.S.smoking can led to serious diseases,
