ASSESS AND COMPARE THE NICOTINE DEPENDENCE AND THE CHANGES IN ORAL HEALTH DUE TO TOBACCO USE AMONG AND BETWEEN SMOKING AND SMOKELESS TOBACCO USERS

Abstract

In order to better grasp the most important aspects of health behaviors, this model aids nurses in their pursuit of knowledge. Counseling may be a powerful tool for encouraging positive behavioral changes that lead to healthier lifestyles. Over time, using nicotine in any form may negatively impact oral health and increase the risk of developing tobacco-related disorders. Activities aimed at creating measures that might preserve or increase a personal wellness are required by this health promotion paradigm.
