i quit smoking 4 days ago and now have a sore chest when i cough. it isnt sore when i swallow although i do have a sore throat aswell. The chest pain is really scaring me as i do only feel it when i cough.

It's probably just because you are coughing up all the smoke residue in your lungs. When I quit I coughed and hacked for a month and my chest hurt from it.

You are detoxing your lungs from their toxic gunk. It is not only normal, but required to hack up all the crap you have been holding onto. Your lungs are like sponges. They are holding onto what ends up in an ash tray. It will hurt and take some time to get rid of it but boy will you be glad you did!!

I have been tobacco free now for nearly a decade and would never go back!!
