What Causes Intense Pain In The Left Rib Cage And Upper Abdomen After Smoking For The First Time?

I smoked cigarettes (3) for the first time yesterday and I’m experiencing an intense pain. It’s been almost 24 hours and the pain has not subsided. It’s from under my left ribs to the upper abdomen. It can only really be felt when I’m moving or sitting in certain positions. Should I go to the ER? Should I wait it out if I can? What could it possibly be?
