Tobacco chewing in various forms ( gutkha, khaini, paan masala, masheri etc.) is a rampant practice in the Indian Subcontinent. It has a strong association with development of mouth and throat cancer. But before developing a full fledged cancer, it sends out warning signals in the form of some reversible changes followed by unreversible changes.

This is a pictoral depiction of what can be achieved by completely ceasing tobacco consumption as early as 4 weeks of habit cessation, not to mention the overall improvement in ability to eat normal food and general condition of the body.

Thus its never too late to give up the habit.
