The crappy thing about using tobacco is that once yo ulose something to it, you never get it back. Your gums will not groe back, but if you stop now, you can prevent further damage from occuring. Also, take better care of your gums and teeth. See a dentist or peridontist regulary and be sure to brush and floss daily.

Rinse your mouth vigorously with hot salt water (one teaspoon of salt to one cup of water) for two minutes, three-times-a-day.
Wel the best way I can think of is
Use dental floss twice a day. Move the floss in every direction ((front, back, etc.)) of every tooth until it's squeaky clean. ((Even if there's not a tooth next to it)) Brush with soft bristle toothbrushes ((hard bristles can encourage receding gums)). Brush your gums as well as your teeth.
Also it is best to use HOTT salt water and rnse your mouth as many as 3 times a day.
Also see a dentist and go back for check ups regularly ((around 6/12 months))
Hope I helped
Best of luck

I know someone who's been in this situation before. There aren't any products which can magically make your gums grow back which work effectively. The only thing you can do it quit chewing tobacco, unless you want other serious problems.
I'd recommend you see a dentist. If it's not too far gone, they can probably help you.
"Options for managing your symptoms and preventing long-term disease are to:
Rinse your mouth vigorously with hot salt water (one teaspoon of salt to one cup of water) for two minutes, three-times-a-day.
Use dental floss twice a day — perhaps the best technique for preventing receding gums. Try various types of floss (plain or flavored, waxed or unwaxed, thinner or thicker, etc.) until you find your fave. Floss in front of a mirror so that you can see, to get the floss down the sides of each tooth. Glide the floss along the front, back, and sides of every tooth until it squeaks, even if there's not a tooth next to it, and even if the gums are tender and bleed. Within a few days of flossing daily, you will notice that your gums no longer bleed.
Brush with soft bristle toothbrushes — hard bristles can encourage receding gums. When you brush, brush your gums as well as your teeth.
Take aspirin, as necessary, for minor discomfort of your gums.
See your dentist every 6 - 12 months for check-ups."
