it could be something called as cheek bite that occurs due to unconscious biting of the cheek mucosa,,the reason could be impacted wisdom teeth that may have to be removed.Do gargles with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt in it about 5-6 times daily for few days,and ofcourse a visit to a dentist is a must.

This scenario does not involve smoking.. Likely to be called as oral thrush.. Try salt water gargle for 4 to 5 times a day with conscious biting.. Probably u are biting ur cheek unconsciously.. Try reducing it.. And do steaming for 5 days..
Next Steps
Salt water gargling and steamer can help
Health Tips
Gargle with mouth wash often and do professional teeth cleaning once
