What Causes Mild Pain In The Chest And Throat In A Habitual Smoker?
I am 21 year old woman,I smoke about 1 1/2 packs a week of cigarettes, Iv been smoking since october of last year. All of a sudden I'm starting to feel a tightness and kind of a dull pain in my throat/chest every once in a while, makes it a little harder to breathe...is this because I'm smoking or is it something else? I recently switched brands of cigarettes too,could that cause it?

yes.it is because of smoking..addiction of nicotin is causing the changes and sudden withdrawl is producing the symptom due to lack of nicotin level in blood.
