Canker Sores and Smokin'

just to gloat never had one can't tell you. Though I've seen plenty of cig smokers seem to continue with the cigs without showing any clear complications. I'd say go for it and if it starts to bother you that's probably the sign it isn't a good idea, and if it doesn't feel worse then keep going for it.
I don’t smoke if I am sick or have any sores in my mouth.
Not long ago I burned my palate with a spectacularly hot slice of pizza and it cost me days without a pipe. Dammit! Just hatefully the pizza wasn’t even that good. Double dammit!

I prefer not to smoke till they're gone. They're painful and vexing and if smoking does slow down the healing process, I would rather not.
Then again, I'm not certain smoking slows down the healing process: true, smoke is an irritant, but so is lemon juice applied on the sore, and that used to be a home remedy for sores. Go figure, it might be that smoking actually speeds up the healing process. One day I might just experiment and smoke when I've a sore.

I'm currently healing from a hot pizza slice too. I never smoke with a mouth sore.
I actually noticed a few weeks ago, a slight cut, or what appeared like a cut, which also appeared too like a slight bump, on the top of my tongue, also with a wee bit of blood.
Well I knocked off smoking till it was gone!
While smoking isn’t a healthy thing to do, if you want to smoke a long life, well, you need to keep as healthy as possible, now this is what I call some smoking irony! LOL

of course the pizza wasn't good. You have to be pretty hungry to burn yourself on pizza or eat pizza that's sub standard.
But it sure looked good....
And yes, I was way too hungry. Short lunch breaks and nuclear pizza - what could possibly go wrong??
Tobacco/nicotine actually prevents them/can make them heal faster in some people. Probably similar to it's therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis, cankers often originate from gut irritation.
I suffered from major, scarring mouth ulcers for many years, thankfully only a few per year now.

Nicotine is a miracle drug and it cures canker sores and corona.
For some poor bastards it'll put their UC into remission! If someones gonna do it anyway might as well get some extra mileage out of it ?
I think it's safe to say smoking doesn't help the healing process. And it could be significantly detrimental. I'd think the safe bet would be to lay off a few days and give your body the best opportunity to heal.
I did it with cigs. But now that I look at it, it probably wasn't the best idea. Then again, I never slowly enjoyed cigarettes the way I do my pipe anyway.
you could have dropped it in your pants that might be worse
It is interesting that when you become a pipe smoker you become much more aware of burning your mouth from hot food and drinks.
I'm just getting over a cold, and today I can breath through my nose enough to actually taste pipes properly, then I stabbed my tongue with a sharp chip while eating nachos. Kind of want to smoke some Windsail anyway.
