Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you have pain in throat that started after quitting smoking. Just smoking 2 cigarettes a day and later quitting should not really cause a problem and that too like pain in the throat.

I would advise you the following in such a situation:
First of all, get an opinion of an ENT Surgeon to see the problem in the throat- whether this is granular pharyngitis or something else.
You are too young, say just 23 years to have any serious problem like cancer, hence stop worrying.
A proper treatment with an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines can help you out well.
Take care and do not smoke again.
