Not much can be said by merely looking at the picture. I would suggest him to go to a maxillofacial surgeon and get a biopsy of the lesion done as soon as possible.

Hello dear
Please be calm
I think history of smoking is there which do create a chance of chronic irritation.
So according to me it doesn't seem to be simple traumatic ulcer.
For further details you can consult me
Thanks
