This research aims to ascertain whether a certain socio-demographic category of individuals with any type of oral syndrome has a higher likelihood of using and consuming smokeless tobacco in specific ways.\n                    <jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A tertiary dental institution in Dhaka conducted cross-sectional research on adult oral hygiene patients from April 2024 to September 2024. A semi-structured questionnaire was replied by 156 research participants. Purposive sampling was used to choose study participants who were at least 18\u00a0years old, SLT users, and had at least ten natural teeth.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    There might not be any gender disparity in the SLT intake because this study was conducted at the outdoor department of a tertiary dental facility with patients from a range of socio-demographic backgrounds.
