UNLABELLED
Tobacco use contributes to many oral and general health disorders.While cigarette smoking is the most hazardous and prevalent form of tobacco use in the industrialized countries, consideration also needs to be given to non-cigarette use such as bidi smoking in India, reverse smoking by several rural populations and use of snuff and chewing tobacco.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Health professionals should encourage and aid cessation of tobacco use as a part of prevention of oral and other cancers.
