Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain it seems that your throat gets inflamed due to the heat present in cigarette smoke and anything hot for that matter and in case if you are a regular smoker there must be a persistent smoker then there is a possibility that there is continuous irritation in throat and further when anything hot reaches the throat it gets inflamed and swollen and there is choking and closing up..

First of all I would suggest you to stop smoking..
In case if you are addicted, you can consult a Addiction Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and he can advise you Nicotine Replacement Supplements to stop the smoking habit.
You can be advised nictotine patches, gums etc..

Take food by cooling it to room temperature and avoid consuming it hot..

In case after following the following instructions also the symptoms does not get better consult an Allergist and get evaluated for any allergies as such symptoms can be seen in allergies too..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
