Materials and Methods: Throughout the trial, 450 patients agreed to participate in the investigation. The subjects comprised patients with squamous cell carcinoma (n = 79), oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) (n = 200), leukoplakia (n = 41), lichen planus (n = 10), and controls (n = 120) . Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the Chi‑square and regression analysis. Results: All oral precancerous lesions were shown to have a high prevalence of chewing, which was found to have a strong link with oral cancer. Oral precancerous lesions and cancer were also substantially connected with the length of time someone had the habit and how often they engaged in it. Conclusion: Oral cancer and precancerous lesions were determined to be less of a worry when other risks such as drinking and smoking were taken into account.  \nKeywords: Leukoplakia, lichen planus, oral cancer, oral submucous fibrosis, tobacco chewing   \nIntroduction  \nThe state of one’s teeth and gums might be used as  \nan indicator of their general health. Late detection and treatment of oral diseases, such as precancerous lesions, may have far‑reaching effects on a patient’s overall health and sense of well‑being. However, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for over 90% of all oral malignancies.[1‑3] Although high‑risk oral precancerous lesions are often apparent to the naked eye, this is unfortunately the case. Oral precancerous sores are the most common kind of oral ailment,  \n\n| Access this article online |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Quick Response Code:\u003Cbr>| Website: [https://journals.lww.com/jpbs](https://journals.lww.com/jpbs) |\n|  | DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_260_23 |\n\nand the most common types are leukoplakia (white changes), erythroplakia (red changes), anderythroleukoplakia (blended white and red changes) .[4,5] Both the white and red lights go through their cycles simultaneously.
