Smoke is nothing more than ash and warm air mixed. Ash, even in small quantities can irritate the esophagus. Over time the body produces more phlegm to protect this area and smokers have to cough to remove it from the airway. Over time a smoker can get a persistant cough and erosive problems with the airway and lungs from the body having to constantly having to fight this persistant problem.

I have sharp pain when breathing in my chest and feels like there's something under my ribs when i bend or twist my body whats wrong with me?
There are many causes of pain in the chest: musculo skeletal pain, oesaphagitis and reflux, pancreatitis and stomach ulcers, angina and heart disease, chest infections, shingles, fibrositis, referred pain from spine and occasionally from gall bladder disease and irritable bowel. A detailed investigation is needed to establish the cause of pain.
Do allergies cause chest pain?
Yes, allergies can cause chest pain. If a person inhales an allergen into the mid-lower respiratory system (throat/lungs) and that allergen causes an allergic response such as swelling then there is the potential for chest pain to occur. But, keep in mind that unresolved chest pain should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible; this could be chest pain relating to a heart attack and not an allergic response. One way to tell the difference: if the pain gets worse when you inhale and exhale or push down on your chest...then its probably not a heart attack, but if the chest pain remains unchanged with pressing down or inhaling/exhaling is more then likely to be related to the heart and might need quick treatment.
