hello and welcome to health care magic,
You have both tonsillitis and may be even reflux which is causing the pain especially after smoking.
In any case you must stop smoking and consult an ENT as soon as possible so that a decision on whether to treat only conservatively or with a combination of medication and surgery is needed can be taken
hope this helps
