Smokers develop a thin layer of tar inside their mouths and it's this that prevents mouth ulcers forming. If you give up, that layer disappears within a couple of weeks and the ulcers will come back. They shouldn't last for long, as you mouth rebuilds its natural immunity. |

The downside, smokers can get a lot of gum infections and related problems. I haven't. But your gums do recede faster.
Apparently, you can control ulcers also simply by adding more alkaline to your diet; less acidity, go figure. |
