Do yourself a big favor and let this be a wake up call to eliminate tobacco from your lifestyle. If it would be cancer, you want to give your body the best possible chance to beat it. By stopping smoking now it will hopefully give your mouth sores a chance to heal. I hope they will heal on their own and disappear. At least its worth a shot.
