Well done for giving up Smoking. I smoked like a Chimney for 40 years and decided to go onto E-cigs, I then cut the nicotine out after 2 years but continued because I liked the taste. I stopped Vaping last March and have been OK and have not missed it. I never had sores or anything after I quit the Cigs though. Anyhow welcome to the rooms I only joined a couple of days ago myself.

Thank you too!

There are different types of smokers and I was very addictive having to have one at around 4am and first thing in the morning.

I tried three times to quit , once for 6 months, but the mouth sores were too much and I tried all the mouth ulcer treatments to no avail.

I stopped this time for 18 months after my son told me about using nicotine replacement treatments, and the lozengers kept the sores at bay but they still reocurred.

So on holiday recently in Switzerland, non of the pharmacies stocked to lozengers, just gum which did not work very well on my sore mouth. My friend ordered lunch of salad and a type of ham and two dressings of virgin olive oil and balsamic vineger.

The vinegar on the salad smarted a little in my mouth but miraculosly stopped the mouth soreness.

My friend had some home made red wine vinegar and I used this in small quantities as a mouth wash and indeed the sores stopped hurting immediately.

I hope this helps someone else with mouth ulcers or sore spots on the tongue.

If the tongue is badly  fissured then this treatment may be too severe or painful, however this is a salad dressing, so worth a try.
