Hello. Thank you for posting your query.
Firstly i would like to congratulate you for quitting smoking. It is a wise decision and please never go back to smoking.
The bad news is khaini is equally terrible and can cause oral cancer which is very difficult to treat. In fact mortality is very high.
Chest pain can be due to a lot of causes such as GERD, angina, myocarditis, pericarditis, due to lung manifestations, esophagitis ( e.t.c )
It is better to get yourself evaluated. I will recommend a routine Chest X-RAY and ECG. If you're having regurgitation of food, associated with the chest pain, then it can be due to GERD. In that case take Tab. Pan 40 once a day 30 minutes before breakfast for 2 weeks.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards
