Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The habit of smoking is not likely to cause the back pain you are having. It is more likely to be due to a myofascial syndrome which subsides with a combination of pain killer and a muscle relaxant. Doing a hot fomentation will also help you temporarily.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
