Anemia does not normally cause swollen lymph nodes. lymph nodes are most commonly the sign of bacterial/viral infections. These lymph nodes are usually soft, mobile, tender and swell to a large size over a short period of time. other causes of swollen lymph nodes incluse benign growths and malignancies. When watching out for malignancies, lymph nodes should be checked if they are hard, non-mobile, cause no pain and swell largely over a longer period of time (weeks-months)

Can smoking cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck?
Yes, lymph nodes can swell in response to irritation caused by tobacco smoking. Repeated damage in chronic tobacco smoking habits can lead to swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes swell due to increase WBC and lymphocyte activity, as nodes are activated to clear out dead cells and attack cells that may have damaged DNA. Some of these damaged cells may be pre-cancerous or cancerous. This condition can lead to a variety of cancers including lymphoma. Regular irritation causes many different neck glands to react to the damage, thereby causing activity in the immune system leading to the swelling. Lymphocytes and related cell macrophages will drain into the node in the neck if damage is occurring in the upper respiratory system (trachea, upper bronchial tract, throat, near hyoid bone). A network of cervical lymph nodes spans the neck and lower jaw, and "overload" of one node can cause nearby nodes to swell. "Blisters" in the mouth can also occur, as small glands on the inside of the mouth (called "submandible" lymph nodes) swell in response to immune system activity.
