yes it can be if you are allergic to tobacoo you may get allergic inflamatory swelling of throat mucosa causing reactive hyperplasia of lymph node
and above all the acid reflux can ring the half digested food to throat causing sticking to crypts of tonsil appearing like white blister
you may get allergy test and if found allergic to tobacoo
you can use antiallergics antacids apply triamsolone mouth paint locally and anti inflamatory tabs which will reduce lympn node also
this is best option in my opinion
