thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the brown spots could be because of the smokers melanosis or smokers palate or stomatitis nicotina palatini. it occurs because of the smoking and heat produced during smoking. nothing to worry, if i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to stop smoking and take antioxidants. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
