Is Granule Formation On Mouth Related To Smoking?

I am 27. I smoke 11-12 cigarettes a day. Recently, I developed a very small white granule on my upper part of mouth. I consulted an oncologist who suspected it to be erythroplakia. Assured me that it was reversible if I cut down on smoking. He also advised some multi-vitamins. I consulted another oncologist who even ruled out that it was erythroplakia. None of the docs advised a biopsy
