Hi
Welcome to hcm
You should see a ENT surgeon earliest possible. I cannot definately tell the diagnosis on the basis of information that you have given. Smoking definately increases the risk of throat cancer and not alsways it will be with blood in cough. So you should not wait till that.
Regards.
