Have a dental check: There are many causes for sore gums, cheek and jaw. I would give them 1 week to heal from the smokeless tobacco. If it does not fully go away, schedule and appointment with your dentist.

Glad you stopped: That is one foul habit. Aside from the nasty aesthetics, causes lots of oral and dental problems, including tooth loss, and cancer. Also associated with other cancers, heart disease, addictive. Visit your dentist.
