Hello!Thank you for posting here.
You did not mention how long you were smoking.Do you have any burning sensation and the color of your inside cheek.
So, this can be oral lesion mostly leukoplakia.I strongly suggest you to see a oral surgeon for a clinical examination and a biopsy.Quit tobacco immediately.Have a healthy,stress free life style.Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Gargle warm saline water thrice daily.
Hope this helps.
