Does Lump In Throat Caused After Smoking Indicate Throat Cancer?
I gave up smoking 4 months ago but recently smoked a few cigarettes. When I gave up I went through the usual symptoms of sore thoat that eventually went away. Since smoking recently the sore throat has come back particularly when swallowing. Feel like a slight lump in my throat im worried that its throat cancer.

Dear friend,
You have habit of smoking and having sore throat or lump. If i am your your doctor i would like to know some more detail as is it painful? or any difficulty in swallowing or any history of voice changes? You need direct or indirect laryngoscopy examination to any ENT surgeon for confirmation.
And planned further treatment accordingly.
