The statistical analysis was done using the SPSS software version 16.0. Results: Oral submucous fibrosis (23.2%) is found to be most common oral lesion however pseudomembranous candidiasis(0.3%) was least commonly reported oral lesion in this specific study population. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and early prevention will help to reduce tobacco related oral diseases.
