Welcome to ChatDoctorYou should see a ENT surgeon the earliest possible. I cannot definitely tell the diagnosis on the basis of information that you have given. Smoking definitely increases the risk of throat cancer and not always it will be with blood in cough. So you should not wait till that. Regards.
