I'm unsure is it cancer or what.
I'm smoking from last 4 years...used to smoke 3-4 cigarettes par day.
Recently from 2 mths I increased it to 6-12 per day...
And now I'm experiencing some pain in my throat region in right hand side...can it be cancer?

You seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits. It's unlikely to be cancer
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
