Should i be worried if it feels like a pinching pain when breathing in. i smoke trying to quit any medical advice?

Airway reactivity: This can be realted to airway reactivity. Sometimes we give analogy of breathing through a straw --> hard to get air in but easier to get air out. Smoking can aggravate and cause obstructive lung disease. Definitely good to stop smoking but see a doctor if pain/pinching is persistent.
