Abstract

The use of substances that alter mood, behavior and cognitions have been a part of human life across numerous social contexts throughout the history. Invariably, there are some individuals whose use of such substances may lead to abuse and eventual Psychological, Social, or Physical harm [1]. Tobacco is used in India in many forms. Smoking of Cigarettes and Beedis (Tobacco wrapped in dried leaves of special trees) is one form of tobacco use. Smokeless tobacco use consists of chewing pan (mixture of lime, pieces of areca nut, tobacco and spices wrapped in betel leaf), chewing gutkha or pan masala (scented tobacco mixed with lime and areca nut, in powder form), and mishri (a kind of toothpaste used for rubbing on gums) [2]. Using data from the National Family Health Survey second round (NFHS II, 1998-99), prevalence of tobacco use in India was estimated to be 37 percent among the population of 15 years and above [3].
