A member asked:

Is it normal if my chest hurts from smoking?

Dr. Gutti Rao answered

Specializes in Hospital-based practice

Not normal: Every one knows that smoking is injurious to health. If your chest hurts when you smoke, it needs to be evaluated to see whether you have bronchitis, or something else. It may also be a good reason to stop smoking and see whether your chest pain goes away.
