continue, as the estimates for the "future burden of tobacco related disease" predict that the number of deaths attributable to tobacco use will go from 5 million in 2005 to
10 million to 2020 (Warren, et al 749). Clearly, tobacco addiction is a public health problem of international proportions and examination of relevant literature supports this position. A British
medical study reveals that over half of all smokers die from causes associated with their addiction and half of these deaths occur at middle age, cutting these lives far short
of their full longevity potential (Reibel 643). The negative effects of smoking, or the use of smoke-less tobacco, are well-established: some effects of relatively benign, while others are potentially fatal.
For example, some relatively benign effects are "staining and discoloration of teeth and dental restorations, halitosis, effect on taste and smell acuity, wound healing, periodontal disease, success of dental implants"
(Reibel 643). In addition to the well-known risk for lung cancer, tobacco use can also result in other negative, and potentially deadly, health consequences, such as "oral mucosal disease including
smokers melanosis, smokers palate, potentially malignant lesions and oral cancer, and, possibly, caries and candidosis" (Reibel 643). The occurrence of "destructive periodontal disease" is between 5 and 20 times
higher for smokers when compared to people who have never smoked (Reibel 643). Globally, oral cancer is the eighth most common diagnosed form of cancer and its ranks in certain
regions of Asia as one of the three most common form of cancer (Reibel 643). This coincides with numerous empirical studies that indicate that smokers have a significantly increased risk
for oral cancer when compared with non-smokers (Reibel 643). A large-scale intervention study that was conducted in India conclusively demonstrated that smoking cessation can decrease the associated risk of
