I quit smoking 2 days ago after 1 year of smoking, then my heart started to to hurt a little but not painful and i had trouble with breathing. Is this because of the withrawal from cigarette smoking? Or do I have problem with my Heart? or lungs?

I'd say it's withdrawal from nicotine/cigarettes. See below link for more information. However, call your doctor if the pain/shortness of breath gets too bad, or is accompanied by other symptoms of heart problems.
And congrats on quitting.. keep it up! Check out my second link for some motivation.

It is very simple. Your lungs are craving the nicotine. My dad stopped smoking 40 years ago, and when I smoked he would see the pack of cigarettes on the table and pick them up and just smell. He said he would not smoke one for $100.00 but he loved smoking, and apparently the craving was still there but not overwhelming. I had a Dr. tell me that he can get somone off "herion" quicker, and easier than a cronic 3 pack per day smoker. I haven't smoked in 25 years, but I could eat a 'cigar" this moment.
