Would Tobacco Intake Cause Small Lump On The Right Bottom Of The Jawbone?

I have had a pain on the left side of my jaw and neck for about three weeks,it only hurts if I turn certain ways, or lift something heavy! I have found a small lump right at the bottom/back of my jawbone!!! Doctor thought it might be a bone chip??? I have chewed Tabacco for a number of years, should I be concerned of something much worse???

Hi
With respect to your query, I can say your oral and extra oral examination is not properly then coming to the lump it might be a lymph node coz of a tooth problem.coming to tobacco use I will definitely say plz stop it no means it is good for health infact it comprimises the oral health too. Even this could be the reason also
I find this answer helpful
