Tobacco consumption is widespread in India and this habit can result in Oral cancer and few people die due to the spread of oral cancer. Every year May 31 is celebrated as World No Tobacco Day to encourage the public to reduce the consumption of tobacco and the ill - effects of tobacco on health. This year on 31 May 2024, the World Health Organisation encouraged young children to be protected from the industries producing tobacco. The newer trends of consuming tobacco among adolescents are by the means of e-cigarettes. Dentists especially Oral Medicine experts should know the tobacco cessation approaches to help adolescents to quit the tobacco habit. Pharmacological as well as psychosocial intervention should be provided to the younger generation who have a tobacco addiction and these interventions will be helpful to quit the habit of consuming tobacco.
