Probably not: But possibly yes. Chances are very small, but not non-existent, that it is serious. Your Dentist will be able to examine the lesion and determine its severity.

STOP SMOKING!: First, yes, stop smoking! smoking causes cancer, and its incidence is on the rise. You should stop smoking regardless of whether or not it caused or is contributing to the ulcer. Take this as a wakeup call to stop. Then make sure you see a dentist (or physician) to accurately diagnose the ulcer. Any lesion that lasts two weeks or more needs to be diagnosed.
