Could Sore Throat Be Due To Smoking Of Tobacco?

im 19, and have smoked hookah smoke tobacco with molasses (no tar) since august. was sick recently and had a sore throat, but i wanted to see if i had visible signs of harm in my mouth or whatever, i load about maybe 8 tablespoons of the stuff in a day, half maximum inhales each time, and usually walk away and let it burn i looked in the mirror, and i saw visible red vein like things by my lymph nodes, looked kinda bloody beneath the surface, and it looked like the back of my throat had slight degrading, like a tongue that had something too hot or sour and took a bit of layering off. i hope im not doing that much damage, any pictures or reference, can i send a picture for some feedback? there s no money to make an overpriced doctor visit
