Hello.
Smoking causes vasospasm(contraction of blood vessels)..this can cause pain in chest..
It is better if you stop smoking..
Other chance is gastritis..
Get an EKG as a routine..nothing to worry.
If the problem persists take the help of a physician..
If you have anymore doubts I would be happy to help you..
