Hello doctor,
Why does my throat hurt after smoking cigarettes for the first time?
Hello,
Welcome to iclinic.com.
Since your throat is not used to the smoke, which contains a large number of chemicals, it got injured and started to pain. Chronic smokers will not experience pain due to a permanent change in the cells of the throat, which resist smoke-induced injury. Your throat will recover in a few days.
