Symptom OHL query

Hi,
I am curious to know about Oral Hairy leukoplakia. What exactly it is? And most of the people who smoke sometime have white tongue or lesions on tongues so how to distinguish OHL? Is it a form of early symptom? Can it appear within 2-4 week after the infection?

I will appreciate the answer.

I agree Teak. But I am finding it very difficult to handle. Even a small change here and there makes me quite anxious and scared. Anyway, thanks for your response.
