Abstract

  Substantial impact of various smokeless tobacco toxicants, constituents, and chemicals as they pass through the oral mucosal tissues, enter body fluids and systems causing adverse health effects. Greater emphasis should be placed on the early cellular, molecular, physiological, and morphological changes that occur secondary to the harmful chemicals and toxicants in smokeless tobacco, which play a role in the carcinogenesis process. Smokeless tobacco constituents may cause destruction and/or irritation of the oral mucosal tissues resulting in severe tissue damage, carcinogenesis and serious systemic effects.

Keywords: Buccal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC); Buccal Cancer; Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS)
