I have stained lips and gums due to smoking, though I have quit smoking from 3 months but they still look too dark. Help?

Question

Hello stain lips and gums due to malnutrition of tissue, there is less blood supply of gums and lips due to smoking and tobacco. You should take vitamin C and E as regular supplement. Take citrus food this will help increase blood supply in tissue. Always moisture your lips and gums use lemon and honey apply on gums and lips.
