Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Around 2 billion people worldwide use tobacco products, mostly in the form of cigarettes, with tobacco smoking related diseases resulting in 4 million deaths per year.[1] Tobacco abuse is responsible for fifty percent of all the malignancies in males and one-fourth of all malignancies in females in India. Tobacco use is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders and respiratory diseases. Tobacco chewing is partly responsible for the high rates of Oropharyngeal cancers in our country. Forms of tobacco chewing include pan (piper betel leaf filled with sliced areca nut, lime, catechu, and other spices chewed with or without tobacco) pan masala or gutkha (a chewable tobacco containing areca nut), and gulmanjan (finely powdered tobacco rubbed on the gums as tooth paste).
