Seems like the swelling is occuring due to initial changes in the cheek mucosa due to your tobacco habits... Dont worry it seems to be the initial stage as there doesnt seem to be any symptoms... I would advice you to quit your habit completely and start with antioxidants ( the course of antioxidants might be given for upto 3-4 months)...
Next Steps
do visit a qualified professional now...
