It seems to be a traumatic keratosis (white patch due to repeated trauma) more than leukoplakia. Any sharp edges of adjacent teeth needs to be smoothened out and need to wait and wach.

Smoking predisposes to leukoplakia . The pic is more consistent with Traumatic Frictional Keratosis. But ,it would be wise to get a biopsy done for definitive diagnosis, if it persists.

It's better to stop smoking because sooners or later it will create problems. At present it doesn't seems to be a leuko plakia but you should get it checked at once.

No, it doesn't seem like leukoplakia, It seems more like a traumatic / apthous ulcer.
Next Steps
visit a specialist oral & maxillofacial surgeon if the lesion doesn't resolve in the next 5 days, for a better clinical examination.
Health Tips
stop smoking: will really help for a better health.
