“…One study reported that women use tobacco because they believe that it relieves gastric problems and body pain, suppresses hunger, eases stress, relieves tooth ache and is customary to use in special family functions such as weddings and after eating non-vegetarian meals. Some women reported that they suffered distress due to discontinuation, so they continued tobacco use 2 15 . Women are exposed to tobacco at a very young age, mostly influenced by family members (mothers, grandmothers, fathers and husbands), peers who are tobacco users, thus making smokeless tobacco (SLT) use socially acceptable 6 15 .…”

“…These centres are located in district hospitals and provide free pharmacotherapy and counselling services to those who want to quit tobacco 17 . Due to their attachment to district hospitals or tertiary care hospitals, these centres are lesser known to the communities at large and are accessible only to the patients visiting these hospitals 15 . However, according to the last updated list, five States, namely Chandigarh, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh and Meghalaya, are yet to have tobacco cessation facilities under NTCP 17 .…”

Links between tobacco use and poor pregnancy outcomes are well established. Despite various tobacco control measures taken by the government, nearly 5-8 per cent of pregnant women consume tobacco in India. Antenatal check-ups are an opportunity to assess and assist women in quitting tobacco during pregnancy. This review highlights the challenges faced in identifying pregnant tobacco users and providing cessation counselling to them in a formal healthcare setup in the Indian context. For this narrative review, open access databases like PubMed and Google Scholar were searched, using the following search terms: challenges, quitting tobacco use, smokeless tobacco, pregnancy and India. Original articles published between 2010 and July 2022 were included in the English language with available free full text. Out of the thirty articles found to be eligible, seven were included in the review. Official websites of the National Health Mission and National Tobacco Control Programme were also searched to retrieve available data on health education and training material for healthcare workers: medical officers, Auxiliary Nurse and Midwives (ANMs), Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) and list of tobacco cessation centres. This review identified the factors such as myths surrounding tobacco use, lack of targeted screening, inadequate training of healthcare workers and inaccessibility of cessation services, which are posing as challenges in controlling tobacco use in this vulnerable section of the population. Specific strategies to address these issues at the micro, meso and macro levels can prove to be vital in controlling tobacco use in pregnant women. This review also identified the vital role of gynaecologists and healthcare workers such as ANMs and ASHA in identifying and providing brief tobacco cessation counselling to pregnant users.

“…3 OC is a multifactorial disease associated with several risk factors including smoking, [4][5][6] alcohol, 1,4,6 human papillomavirus, 1,6 smokeless tobacco, 7,8 family history (first degree family members), 9 and periodontal disease, 1,10 while the smokeless tobacco practice and consumption of tobacco and alcohol are reasons that predispose the Asian population to OC. 11 In fact, the prevalence of current tobacco use is 34.7% in Bangladesh, 12 which is particularly worrying because tobacco use is one of the leading causes of OC.…”

Background: Oral cancer (OC) is a leading cause of death among cancer patients and a major public health concern in Bangladesh. Timely OC screening can help in the early detection of OC and could reduce the mortality rate in Bangladesh. We aimed to assess the tend of OC screening, perception and risk factors among dental patients. Methods: This was a facility-based cross-sectional study among 423 participants with dental problems using a convenience sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed by IBM SPSS 25 and various statistics, such as the chi-squared test, Poisson regression, logistic regression, etc., were used to attain the objectives. Results: Only 2.4% of the study participants underwent OC screening before the study period. The use of smokeless tobacco and smoking were significantly associated with the tend of OC screening. According to the Poisson model, previous smokeless tobacco users were 5 times (odds ratio (OR): 5.403, P<0.05) more likely than non-users to go for OC screening, which was 8 times (OR: 7.729, P=0.033) for the binary logistic regression. Having a family history of OC increased the odds of receiving an OC screening by nine times (OR: 9.544, P<0.002) compared to individuals without a family history of OC; it was 16 times (OR: 16.438, P=0.001) for the binary logistic regression. Conclusions: This study shows former smokeless tobacco users and past smokers are more likely to uptake OC screening than non-users. In addition, patients having a family history of OC increased the odds of receiving OC screening than subjects without a family history of OC. The lack of OC screening in Bangladesh highlights the need to implement a national-level screening program to help with the early diagnosis of OC and its prevention.
