First and foremost don't neglect it . You are suffering from trismus ( difficulty in opening your mouth) because regular tobacco use made your inner cheek walls ( oral epithelium) fibrotic. Conditions are signifying case of oral submucous fibrosis. Take my advice start taking multivitamin capsules , stop tobacco and avoid chilly food. Visit oral pathologist or any post graduate dentist minimum or any dental college near you. Don't neglect it can worsen.
