What Causes An Irritating Spot In Throat After Smoking?
Hi,
I dont normally smoke cigarettes but this one night I decided to chain smoke like 8 cigarettes. Now I feel this one certain spot on my throat feels more irritable. Is this throat cancer? I only feel it when I touch it. I believe its my thiroid. And it could be in my head as well becuase Im pressing on a sensitive area.
