Hydrate yourself: Many people who smoke cannabis burn their throat from the head of the heat from the burning of the substance.

Question 5

: Congratulations on quitting smoking, continue this as it is best for your long term health. The throat pain and voice being hoarse as well as the bump on the inside of your cheek is likely not related to your smoking or quitting, Best to have those new symptoms looked at by your doctor.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Quit smoking.: Sounds like you have either irritated your throat by smoking or you have a viral infection or both. Start by quitting smoking, drink plenty of fluids and if it persist get checked out.

Question 7

23,smoking for 7mths. whenever i swallow with my head down,right side of throat hurts.pain feels lumpy/muscular.possible throat cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: first of all, WHY are you swallowing with your head down??  Not a good practice and can lead to aspirating and coughing. Pain cannot feel lumpy or muscular so I really don't understand what you mean.  Nobody can tell what you have without looking into your throat. It could be an infection, swollen glands or many things, but 7 months of smoking cannot cause cancer. See your doctor for exam/referral

Question 8

why does my throat hurt? don't have a cold or sore throat, do have allergies that can affect my throat but haven't had issues with that in a long time. i do take benadryl and claritin every day. a neighbor has been smoking pot, heard it could be smok

Accepted Answer

Allergy testing : Your symptoms ay be caused by a number of conditions, including allergic reactions, smoking and possibly even malignancy. Please see your PCP and discuss a referral to ENT and 
/ or an allergist.

Question 9

since i stoped smokin 3weeks ago could i be going through with drawls bc it hurts to swallow food n i am sneezing n throat.hurts ?

Accepted Answer

Sore throat: Congratulations on quitting smoking! It's unlikely that quitting smoking would lead to sore throat &amp; painful swallowing, although this could be due to coincidental infection, possibly a result of smoking (takes a while for all badness attributable to smoking to dissipate). If you had a longer history of smoking, then we'd worry about cancer. Regardless, if pain persists, see your Family Doc &amp; ENT.

Question 10

is it possible for too much smoking to cause a sore throat?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have ever been in or near a fire, and are inhaling smoke, you end up coughing, your throat and even lungs get sore. Cigarette smoking does the same thing, just in lower doses over a longer period of time. Lung and head/neck cancer are worse problems, are are heart attacks, strokes, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and many other complications. The sore throat is the least of it. Please QUIT!!!
