Abstract
Although there are several tobacco products available, smokeless tobacco is the most commonly used1. SLT is being used more frequently, which can be attributable to its low price and straightforward accessibility in every other store around. SLTs are oral tobacco products that are non-combustible. It can also be breathed through the nose; however, it is typically inserted under the tongue or in the space between the cheeks and gums. SLTs come in a variety of forms, including as dipping tobacco, snuff, betel-quid, mawa, naswar, and gutka.
