Tobacco use remains one of the leading causes of oral cancer worldwide. Whether it is smoked in the form of cigarettes, cigars, bidis, pipes, or consumed as smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco, gutka, khaini, paan with tobacco, and snuff, tobacco significantly increases the risk of developing cancers of the mouth and surrounding tissues.
Oral cancer is a serious but often preventable disease. One of the biggest challenges is that many people ignore the early warning signs because they may seem harmless or painless. Unfortunately, delaying medical attention can allow the disease to progress to advanced stages, making treatment more complex and reducing the chances of successful recovery.
