Answers:
The mouth ulcer could be from a variety of different things; however, if you are starting to chew, it can be an irritation cause by the tobacco in the lip/cheek.
Most of the advice is sound, with the exception of the aspirin. The only thing aspirin will do is chemically burn the sore.
Keeping up with your oral hygiene is essential and of course quiting would be the best for you in the long run. That being said, if you don't plan on quiting...move the tobacco - switching sides every week. This will allow the gums to "rest" and limit, to some extent, the damage.
Rinsing with warm salt water (1 tsp salt with 8 oz of warm water) After each meal for 3-5 days may help. If the sore doesn't heal within 2 wks contact your dentist or physician.
