Smokers try to quit once every 2 to 3 years, and are most likely to fail because they do not use tested quitting strategies. Smoking tobacco is the process of burning tobacco and either tasting or inhaling the vapor. The practice began as early as 5000-3000 BC. Tobacco consumption is the most common smoking form and the most common smoked substance is nicotine [1]. Globally, over the same period, male tobacco use had risen by around 40 million, from 1.050 billion in 2000 to 1.093 billion in 2018 (or 82% of the world's current 1.337 billion tobacco users). Smoking has a serious effect on almost every organ in the body. Smoking tobacco can contribute to many short-and long-term health effects, including lung and other organ cancers, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, stroke, and heart attack. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco smoking accounts for 90% of all lung cancer cases and 90% of all deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Secondhand smoke contains hundreds of substances that are responsible for illnesses such as respiratory disorders, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Combustible chemicals found in tobacco smoke via mechanisms involving DNA damage, infl ammation, and oxidative stress are responsible for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary disease. Secondhand smoke is impacting more women and children than men worldwide [2].
Ancient medicine used herbs, for their medicinal purposes and theraeutic benefits. Herbs became important in the global context today, because they offer solutions to the various concerns faced by mankind. Herbal extracts have been proven effective because they interact within the body with the special chemical receptors. Nevertheless as such herbal medicinal products were part of human evolutionary cycle substituted with allopathic preparations. In the last few years because of usage of antimicrobials and antifungals drugs, many organisms with apparent side have gained resistance with negative consequences. Late resurgence towards herbal medicines is therefore on the horizon rise. The following manuscript sheds light on the various organic materials possible remedies for treating oral mucosal lesions. The study is to review the non-pharmacological therapies in the management of Oral Submucous Fibrosis.
