thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the herpangina may cause multiple ulcers its because of Coxsackie group A virus infection. its highly contagious. you can take topical anesthetic and analgesic after consulting the oral physician to rule out these ulcers from reccurrent aphthous ulcers. the smoking can cause cancer on long term use. i strictly advise you to quit the habit. otherwise the damages made by the smoking on oral mucosa after certain extent is irreversible. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
