Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to acid reflux.
It can be stimulated by smoking or spicy food.
I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day.
I also suggest using a PPI medication such as Omeprazole daily in the morning before breakfast.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
