Hi,
There are several causes for throat pain. The pain that you are experiencing could most probably be due to inflammation of the throat. From your clinical history it is extremely unlikely that you could have throat cancer.
Anti-inflammatory medications could helpful. Additionally gargle with warm salt water thrice daily for 3-4 days
I strongly recommend you to quit smoking before it becomes habitual. Smoking is really injurious to your health.

Dr. Prasad
