Hi thanks for your question.
There is no difference between cigrette and hookah.
Smoking always produces irritation of the throat,which with superadded bacterail infection causes
pharyngitis,which is giving you pain.
It would have better for you to quit smoking, or at least reduce it.
You can use antihistiminics and mouth gargles when ever you suspects that your going to have
sore throat.
Hope this answers your question.
