What Causes Throat Pain After Smoking?
Hi
My throat hurts after smoking cigarettes, it feels raw at the back. I smoke an average of 5 a day, more at the weekends and recently I've been smoking for 3 days, off for 4, back on for 3 and on the days I smoke my throat
is no getting sore.
Many thanks for your help.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Smoking lead to increase acidity. Many time person become sensitive to smoke which can lead to esophageal spasm. So, reason for throat pain in your case may be: Acid reflux or Diffuse esophageal spasm or due to combined effect.
For treatment abstinence from smoking and treatment antacids will help. If you are not able to quit smoking himself then seek psychiatrist help for deaddiction.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
