What Causes Twitch In The Lips While Being A Tobacco Addict?

My husband is 53 and chews tobacco and has been for 26+years. He puts it in his bottom lip in front (not sides). The past 6 months he has this twitch in his lips. He puckers them repeatedly especially when he drinks he will even do it as he is falling asleep. He doesn t do it as bad when he s not drinking but it still happens then.

Hello

As you explain the situation it is hard for me to say exactly what it might be probably an allergic reaction. However for safety better for him to be seen by his doctor regarding his concern
