Pain in chest area?smoking issue? i started smoking 4 months ago and about a month ago i started to feel a pain-ish feeling on my right chest area

Maybe. Maybe not.: There is never a need to smoke anything, other than smoking baby-back ribs (those are yummy). If one started smoking just a few months ago, just be strong and quit... and never go near the stuff again. One may have to avoid hanging around smokers (that's just a sacrifice one can make for a better life). One's primary care doctor can examine the chest to see where the pain might be coming from.
