Dear Mayur, i hope ganth means lymph nodes. Lymph nodes on one side armpit and elbow my not be related to smoking cigarettes and weed. There may be other causes. Please consult a doctor and find out where is the infection and treat it. It is good you thought of 3 years of smoking cigarettes and weed now. Please quit both. It will have many health benefits. You are young and it is only 3 years since you are smoking. Comparatively it is easier to stop smoking now than later. All the best.
