It's not appropriate to allow smoking by any doctor as it is injurious to health. You need to take things very objectively and understand the importance of healthy lifestyle so that you can enjoy normal life.

You must have abruptly given up your smoking and pain in your lungs is symptom of Body Craving for the same. I suggest that you have to go for smoking cessation therapy where you let go of the craving of nicotine gradually and building your immunity rather than abruptly giving up. Probability of you going back to smoking increases and you may start smoking again in near future. Also I would suggest that you meet a pulmonologist if pain increases in your lungs.

Whatever you have to say about your smoking you can get cancer if your constitution is not suitable. The cigarette smoke has about 7000 chemicals and they are all mostly harmful.
