Yes, it can be.: Chest and back pain are common effects of smoking and they can occur in withdrawal. Stay alert. Don't believe that starting smoking again will end these symptoms. You may need several medical re-evaluations by a doctor during your withdrawal from smoking. It is so worth it. Good luck.
