obacco smoking is associated with the development of

many diseases, such as oral cancer and leukoplakia. This

fact is described in the 2014 annual report of the US Office

of the Surgeon General “The results of smoking on health,

50 years of progress”. Despite the fact that 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 information 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.
