Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
If the cut on the tongue is because of the trauma, then it heals with in a week. Mean while you can use topical anesthetic like 2%lignocaine and topical analgesic like cholin salicylate. Nothing to be panic. It is not looking like cancerous lesion. Since you are giving history of habits like smoking and drinking, consult a oral physician and get it evealuated.
Stop the habits gradually.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care
