Hi Paul

Thanks for the link. Its exactly what i read but on nhs uk site. Obviously im hoping for a negative result and my ulcer is only an ulcer but if theres anything different showing up il be doing a lot of research. Those mints were terrible, worse than any cigarettes as they gave me canker sores all the time and my stomach was constantly sore, never been the same since. I even thought i had stomach cancer because last year the acid in my stomach was so bad. Ive been paranoid about them ever since and now an ulcer being biopsied. frightened stiff. I just thought all that nicotine being held in the mouth all that time. a smoke is over in a couple of mins isnt it
