Chest X ray: See your doctor for a chest x ray and full assessment. Consider smoking cessation if you are scared of cancer.

See below: Your description suggests a nasal (and possibly respiratory) allergy. Use a nasal decongestant (zyrtec or loratidine, among others) and stop smoking. If the symptoms go away, you have your answer. If symptoms persist, see your physician for more aggressive treatment.

No lung cancer: If chest x-ray is negative, then lung cancer less likely. Have you had a CT scan examination? Your cough may be due to acid reflux. If concerned do get a clinical checkup.
