The nicotine in cigarettesmoke reduces blood flow to your mouthand gums, meaning cuts, ulcers or scratches heal more slowly.
Smoking can also cause or worsen gum disease (also called periodontal disease) and increase your risk of mouth and lipcancer. ...
Apply mucopain ointment. It will soothen the area.
