Tobacco use, in smoked and smokeless forms is a common social habit in India. The oral cavity is prone to a lot of changes owing to age related changes,certain habits (social and cultural) and environmental factors. A study was conducted in villages between Lucknow and Kanpur district. A total of 2551 subjects were recruited in the study. Data was gathered as a chair-side procedure which involved oral examination with sterilized equipment and questionnaire administration. The prevalence of tobacco chewing was 45.21% in our study. 77.8% males were a part of the study.Oral submucous fibrosis was the most common lesion observed in our study.0.20% cases presented with a 25% mouth opening. Tobacco and its associated products have been identified as a high risk for occurrence of the precancerous lesions. Intervention at the grass-root level therefore becomes essential to curb the practice of tobacco use in India.
