Hi there, I'm not sure what your question really is here, but I'm sure you realize your lips turning black is not normal, even if you did smoke, unless maybe it is from something you ate or drank? If it doesn't go away when you wash your mouth, then I'd advise you to see a doctor to get this evaluated.

 

Good luck,

Kathi

Don't know if this relates to you but in the past I found that lipsticks caused a similar reaction with the skin on ly lips feeling "dead," kind of "puffy" and eventually turning black (the process taking several days).  Swtiching to hypoallergenic brands seemed to help.
