Abstract
Tobacco is one of the most important risk factors for premature death globally. More than 60 toxic chemicals in tobacco can invade the body’s various systems. Despite the fact that different forms of tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, dipping and chewing tobacco or inhaled) are used in order to reduce pulmonary and cardiac complications, tobacco has a negative influence on human health. Tobacco smoking increases the death rate of smokers by 30-80%. Based on the mentioned, we can determine the causal relationship between smoking and the development of oral cancer, leukoplakia and chronic impact on oral organs, i.e. lips during constant tobacco use. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a pathological type of oral cancer, accounting for over 90% of oral cancers. A vast quantity of scientific, clinical and epidemiological data shows that tobacco is associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and its carcinogenic pathways may be complicated.
