Hello Ratan, black lesions on the cheek mucosa are common in smokers. It is non painful and harmless but with increase in frequency of smoking the lesion also tends to increase. Regarding swollen gums and whitish discoloration is mainly due to poor oral hygiene. Visit a periodontist and get thorough cleaning of your gums. Your problem will be solved.

Hope i have helped you.
