Hello dr. i have a small hole in the back left of my mouth and sometimes it ejects a white plaque like substance that smells bad i use to smoke cigarettes but i have switched to vaping?

Ans: Well you should not have any hole in the back of your mouth. Sounds like food particles getting trapped and the smell is the bacteria growing from that trapped food. You are best to see your doctor for evaluation
