Thank you for your query.

No Smoking please!

Smoking has harmful effects and more harmful effects.
It does not cure the pain. It just masks it up.

There are healthy optiosn to relieve pain. Medications, yoga, meditation, and alternative medicine.
If pain is severe/acute, non addictive medications are advised for a long term use I additional to other methods mentioned above. All of it is worth trying as these are healthy and side effects free methods (except for pain medication).

Smoking has a harmful effect and sometimes irreversible effect on many organs and body functions.
I appreciate that you sought advice before acting on it. I would greatly appreciate it if you sought other ways (as mentioned above) to get pain relief. The fact that you almost back to your usual self is excellent news. That should encourage you to continue trying for a healthy solution.
Hope I've answered your query.
