Actually u are not in the age group whr throat pain is suspected to be cancer... Occasional smoking is a risk factor but unlikely to be anything. As u said most likely it is due to the acidity issue that u have the lump in the throat feeling.. Take antacids for 2 weeks and see the results. If persistent then better to get examined just as a precaution... But in my opinion it is unlikely to be a cancer
