hi thanks for asking this in HCM. Tobacco chewing is a very important risk for oral cancer so i advice you to stop chewing tobacco. your complaints seems to suggest a condition called submucous fibrosis which can develop due to tobacco chewing. its a premalignant condition which may develop into oral cancer so advice you to consult a general surgeon and confirm the diagnosis..
