Hello
This may be a sign of leukoplakia. Leukoplakia is non cancerous lesions usually clear in a few months after quitting tobacco. you can take over the counter nicotine gum to manage tobacco withdrawal symptoms during initial phase of quitting .I advise that you should consult with Dental surgeon /ENT to rule out other causes.
