He said that smokeless tobacco might play a role in causing high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. He said that the passive smokers were more prone to hazards as they inhale all the smoke of the active smokers so the family members of the smoker head have more chances of falling prey to above mentioned diseases. Dr. Santosh said the chance that a non-tobacco user gets mouth cancer is 50 times lower and at the beginning, chewing tobacco determines the appearance of some injuries in the mouth.

These injuries precede oral cancer and the early detection of such injuries helps in the treatment of mouth cancer. He said people must also know that many of the mouth cancer symptoms are provoked by tobacco. Smoking cigarettes and even chewing tobacco may be actions that accelerate the appearance of mouth cancer symptoms. Dr. Santosh Kumar also demanded from the government to enforce the laws strictly banning smoking at the public places, offices, schools, colleges, during the traveling and also put a ban on advertisements of cigarettes in print and electronic media. -samaa
