white tongue is usually caused when bacteria, debris (like food and sugar) and dead cells get trapped between the papillae on the surface of your tongue. These string-like papillae then grow large and swell up, sometimes becoming inflamed. This creates the white patch you see on your tongue.

Hello ji,
please be calm.
See definitely leukoplakia has chances of conversion into oral cancer. But avoidance of habit can prevent further progression and chances of surgery. I request you to totally quit smoking and instead go for nicotine replacement therapy. For further details you can contact me at my code bj6e1e
regards.
