See a physician: Bad habits? Depends what that is? Alcohol and tobacco (especially chewing) increases the risk of head and neck cancer. What is the age -- low risk in young, much higher in an older multi year user. See a physician -- primary care, ent, or oral specialist such as a dentist or oral surgeon.
