SOunds like you just have a chemical burn. Flush your mouth with water for about 15 minutes and it should stop burning.

But you really need to quit using that crap. I smoked for 14 years starting when I was 14 and I stopped cold turkey three months ago. It has been hard, but damn its been great. Saved almost $700 too. So just do yourself a favor and QUIT!!!

i'm guessing that you might want to get it checked out. i'm assuming this is a wake up call for you though?

What made you start using tobacco at 19? Stop now. Please. If you have to do something self destructive, then get into fist fights. Dont waste a ton of money on tobacco.

Dumb reason to start. And dont get me wrong, I started smoking because I wanted to learn to blow smoke rings. As of when I quit I still could not. So I really can't say anything about dumb reasons.

Good thing you got a scare like this early on. Just dont do it again. The first few days will be rough, but after that you should have zero problems. Just tell them to shove it if they try to get you to do it again.

Good luck!!!
