The subjects were grouped as smokers, smokeless tobacco users and subjects with mixed habits. A working classification was formulated to include all the tobacco-induced lesions in the study subjects. Three categories of lesions in this classification were Oral Cancer, OPMD and Tobacco-induced oral lesions without malignant potential. The pattern of tobacco use, age and gender distribution, and the correlation between tobacco use in all the three habit patterns with tobacco-induced oral lesions were analyzed statistically and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      value was determined using Chi square test.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tobacco smoking was found to be highly prevalent in this study, with all types of tobacco habits being more common among males.
