Pennye,
Go see an oral surgeon asap. I know you are scared but you need to have this evaluated. If you wait, it will get worse. The idea of no pain does not mean it it's okay. This occurrence is not normal at this stage of healing and happened because their is a problem. Yes, it may be due to your smoking. I think we've addressed this before and thought you understood the risk that you were taking with smoking while healing.
Please, stop smoking and go see your oral surgeon. This is not something to mess with. To have it treated now is less of a problem than if you wait.
There is nothing more we can do for you here. You need to see the oral surgeon. You will be okay if you have this treated.
