Neck discomfort: That discomfort may be due to a muscular strain or inflammation rather than a lymph node cause,but see your physician for evaluation and diagnosis if the discomfort persists. Do yourself a huge favor and never smoke again.

Neck Pain: Chances are it is not cancer. You definitely should not smoking because it does increase your risk of cancer. You should see a doctor for evaluation to find out what is going on and to, I expect, alleviate your anxiety and fear about the cancer.
