Deffenitely give your throat a break form the smoke. I had a problem at my work where I enhaled some chemical dusts and it gave me a bad reaction. So i had to stop smoking for a few months and I just stuck with Eating some firecrackers on the weekend. Even quit for a few months totally. Good luck and be safe, I would suggest getting a REferral to goto an ENT (Ear nose and Throat Doctor)
