Nicotine itself, constricts blood vessels and affects nerves and the heart. When the nerves don't get enough circulation, there is tingling/burning which can be PN or just paresthesias.

Chewing tobacco also presents a risk of mouth cancers.

It would probably be best to quit.

Inhaling cigarettes smoke carries other toxins, like cyanide, carbon monoxide and carcinogens into the blood.
