What causes esophageal cancer.how to know if you have it.could i get it from smoking weed with acid reflux that was caused from swallowing weed smoke?should i be worried?how to know if you have it?

Esophageal cancer is always possible, unlikely given your age. Best would be to start with a visit with your family doc for 2 reasons: to discuss in actual context your worries about cancer and have work up if so needed and second to address your health related anxiety complicated by guilt. The sooner, the better as anxiety will affect your quality of life.
