hello
well. throat pain for more than a month is a cause of concern and i strongly recommend that you meet your ent doctor.
dont worry!! it is highly unlikely to be a cancer!! but you must quit smoking completely!!
mostly there may be a small infection or swelling in the throat , which is causing the pain!
start gargling with warm salt water 4-5 times a day, it will help.
thanks
