What Causes Hypopigmentation On The Lips?

My original lip color is fading and my lip is turning pink. This is due to the fact that I smoke weed using a cigar wrap, and I m 110% postive that it s from smoking blunts too low. I stopped smoking because im beginning to feel self conscious about it and all I want to know is if this is permanent because it s not going away on its own.
