Hello, i noticed i have a tiny dark red dot on the side of my tongue, it does not hurt and the rest of my tongue is completely normal, i was wondering if it was due to my smoke use? i occasionally use tobacco wraps

Likely related: Best would be to have your physician or dentist to evaluate and stop using tobacco for a while. Time will offer the exact answer to your question. If the lesion stays or grows your physician will also get a sense of its dynamics.
