I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

i will not advise you for smoking and conxuming liquor because all these cause bad impact on our health
