Could Painful Sting In Lungs Be Due To Excessive Smoking?

I m 15 and I smoke, I have been for maybe 3 years now. I have barley tried to quit. And I maybe smoke 15 cigarettes a day. Sometime, maybe 1 or 2 a week I feel a painful sting in my lungs, (like a needle) and it basically happens whenever I breath in after talking. So my question is what is happening to my lungs when this is happening?
