You need to see a dentist immediately. The pain can be due to many things but not due to stopping tobacco. The thick mass maybe due to tobacco chewing and it needs to be examined immediately. If you're lucky it may just be a precancerous lesion which can be treated if caught in time. Please do not delay seeing a doctor.

More than 10 years is a pretty long history with tobacco usage. Your description is not sufficient to arrive at a rational diagnosis. Please post a photograph of the affected area. Or the the best option would be to visit an oral pathologist for a proper clinical examination. And please don't be so naive to think that quitting tobacco is causing your problem. You seem educated enough to understand the harmful effects of tobacco and quitting it is the first step towards any rational treatment. It is difficult to say anything with confirmation without a proper clinical examination but it is also possible that any of your tooth is having any infection causing the pain.
