Have Lump Feeling In Throat. Started Smoking Habit Again. Is This The Cause For Concern?
Hi. I was a smoker for 15 years and quit when i got pregnant. I stopped smoking for 2 years and sadly started again about 2 months ago. Im not a heavy smoker. A few a day. But now i am so so stressed about it. I have a lump feeling in my throat now. I dont have any signs of a lump on the outside but of course i am concerned about cancer. Can u help?

It's quite common for chronic smokers to present with symptoms of feeling of lump in the throat. Apart from cancer it could be chronic laryngitis due to smoke and nicotine irritation. Suggest you to consult a ENT surgeon.
Complete abstinence from smoking is the best option
Wishing you healthy life Take care
