Hi Thank you for using HIM
Burning sensation of chest is commonly due to Gastritis. Smoking is also a major factor which increases the acid secretion in stomach leading to gastritis.
So my advice is to quit smoking by earliest and maintain healthy lifestyle. If problems persists, there are medicines which can help you out. You can contact your general physician.
