thanks for your query, the wiered feeling over the labial vestibule where you place the tobacco could be tobacco pouch keratosis or it can be homogenous leukoplakia where it produces a white patch. consult your oral physician to rule out this and stop the habit of tobacco chewing since it is a precancerous lesion. after consulting the oral physician you can take antioxidants. i hope my answer will help you..take care.
