Case Discussion
Naswar is a moist, green-colored powdered tobacco mostly used in South Asia. It is placed in the bucco-gingival sulcus (mostly in the lower bucco-gingival sulcus) for extended periods of time. It is similar to dipping tobacco and snuff. Naswar is highly addictive and carries a significant risk for oral and throat cancers.
