Wow, sorry, that sounds really gross.  First of all, quit smoking.  Second, use some lip balm -- Blistex is a great healing ointment.  Maybe try some anti-aging lip treatment -- Clinique makes a good one, you can get it in department stores.  If your lips are really that bad, you might be able to get laser treatments to zap out the discoloration.

Stop cold turkey. I quit 3 years ago without the gums or patches. Both of those have nicotine which keeps you addicted and will lead you back to smoking. My sister has been trying to quit using those types of aids for nearly 6 years now, and she is still smoking. It will be hard for the first few days, but then the nicotine is out of your system. Have some willpower!!

Soak them in "Polident Smokers Denture Cleanser" and use "Sea-Bond Denture Brightening Gel." They work like a charm for stained dentures due to smoke, berries...whatever.\n\nTake care

maybe you can go to walmart and get a moisturizing face wash. that should help. i had the same thing and i used carmex on my lips. but dont worry, theres nothing wrong with you, maybe its just the bath soap that you use that dried your skin out. when you go to bed though, glob on the carmex and your lips will feel better in the morning, i promise. good luck         ps or you can use the blistex lip fusion on your lips. that works too

This normally happens if you have a cigarette after not smoking for a while.  Your body is reacting to the numerous harmful substances in tobacco, not to mention the replacement of oxygen with smoke.\n\nI beg you, give up now.  Don't let it ruin your health and your life.

I quit 2 weeks ago and still have the same problem.  It is most likely due to the lack of tar coating your tongue.  Not to worry it will go away :-)  Been here, done this before.\nCongrats on quitting btw, from here on, you are only going to get healthier!

this may be due to your lips-- problems.

Don't worry about the soreness.  That is muscular.  You probably do not have lung cancer if that's your concern.  Lung cancer is a long process of development and the average age to be diagnosed is 70's.  Congrats on quitting!  Keep it up and don't give up!  I'm a non-smoker myself, so enjoy every cleansing breath!  Go see a doctor if you are concerned.  Good luck and stick with it!

well that happens to me sometimes. i use aquaphor (my lips can get very easily chapped) and apply it twice a day. its like vaseline. so if u dont have that, i would highly recommend vaseline. put alot of it  on too, its very soothing and try not to open your mouth much ok? hope this helps! (i did this when i got my wisdom teeth removed since i also had a cracked lip on the side of my mouth but i used aquaphor instead)

Lots of people swear by lots of things...the patch, hypnotism, etc.  I think cutting back is good, because your aren't obligating yourself to quit completely and immediately.  Things like lollipops can preoccupy you from smoking and help the "hand-to-mouth" addiction, I also recommend picking up mint toothpicks (little travel packs are available at health foods stores.)  Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor, either...he/she will probably be able to give you lots of excellent advice.  GOOD LUCK!

Try Abreva and if can get a prescription of  Mupirocin Calcium 2%, combine them and in no time it'll heal. I use both every ten minutes and in 2 days and half it's better. Plus don't bite your lip it'll swell like a balloon. Drink lots of fluids and avoid salty foods ans snacks!
