Hi..first n foremost he needs to slowly cut down on tobacco n eventually stop completely. It is a dangerous habit. From your description looks like he has developed OSMF. You will have to see a dentist locally to understand the severity of the condition and immediate management.
Next Steps
stoppage of the habit will only lead to effective treatment
