Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have habit of smoking and tobbacco chewing yes this color change can be due to you smoking habit due to Melnosis of Mucosa and gingivae .

Swollen gums can be due to both eruption of wisdom tooth and due to smoking imflammation of gums die to Gingivitis also.

Firstly you should quit this habit and go for Oral prophylaxis and consult dentist for oral examination and evaluation.

Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

Hope this will help you.
