You should go to the oral surgeon and have him test for mouth cancer!. I've seen many people that are positive for mouth cancer that don't smoke!. Please get it checked soon!. You might want to be tested for oral herpes if you haven't been tested any time soon too!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it is the more common canker sores you would likely have some nutritional deficiencies --which are exasserbated by irritants like colas, sodas, juice, coffee, spicy foods, toothpaste, mouthwash and tobacco!. The main ones (vitamins & minerals) you are lacking are zinc, iron, folic acid (part of B vitaim family) B1 B2 B6 B9 & B12!. (This is fairly common among the smoking population--so you may want to consider tapering off, or quitting altogether!.

There are several other types of sores such as Oral Herpes, Candita Albicans (yeast overgrowth) thrush, & other sores can be cancerous in origin, if your smoking--that is unfortunately somewhat of a possibility!. I am not saying this to be cruel in any way--but smoking is like giving a ticket to a range of cancers & inviting them to your body!. Depending on your body's limit you may get any one of several deseases, or cancer as a result of smoking now, or in the future!. This episode may not be too serious, or it could be an early warning of a condition that will lead to cancer if left untreated!
Judging by your description it sounds like a condition called Luekoplakia, which is described as either greyish or white!. It is caused soley by tobacco, and is a pre-cancerous condition--that is to say left untreated will become cancerous, so get into see a dermatologist a!.s!.a!.p!.

It should take 3 years after pre-med, or other medical training--not a few months!.
There are other possible causes such as diabetes, lupus--which is an autoimmune disorder, and even biting the inside of your cheek, braces dental appliances such as partials, or dentures!.
The main symptomology to be concerned with is if you have had this for more than 2 weeks!? If so--get professional treatment!. You need a diagnosis from a dermatologist--or a dental surgeon, who can determine if it is a simple canker sore, or something more serious!. Do not let fear prevent you from acting!. Paralysing fear may prevent you from taking action that will at least make you feel better, and may even possibly save your life!.
The supplements recommended are good for any immune condition--from canker sores to something more serious!. You have to love yourself enough too to quit smoking!. It is difficult, but accupuncture can make it a lot easier!. If that is out of your buget try hops--make a tea, or buy the capsules, & it will reduce your desire to smoke!. Ask someone there (health food store) what else they have to help you quit smoking--no doubt much healthier, and safer than nicotine patches & gum!.
If possible, please let me know how you are doing & if you tried some of these suggestions-- I am sure they will help! Start with reg!. salt & warm water rinsing, & use baking soda to brush your teeth!. Avoid the things like colas, & juice!. Take whey & B vitamins!.
