Red dots on tongue i don't smoke?

Probably: you are noticing your taste buds. Unless they hurt, spots on the tongue are usually some sort of normal variation.

If you are not: referring to taste buds then have your dentist check it out. These lesions would need to be examined, a history obtained & other tests may be necessary in order to diagnose them.
