Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The discolored lip can be because of the pigmentation caused secondary to irritation by smoking (smokers melanosis). Nothing to be panic, first you stop the habit of smoking and observe for some months. Then if it is not subsiding then you can go for laser treatment.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
