Abstract

One of the major reasons for preventable loss of life is smokeless tobacco. It's a major health and social concern. In more over 20 percent of world's tobacco-related death occurring in India, smokeless tobacco use is a main component of morbidity and death in India. Tobacco farming is used for the processing of tobacco products that are smokeless, and for smokeless tobacco, one fifth of the general supply of tobacco is used. In biological fluids like blood, urine, or saliva, assessment of the Cotinine levels has been commonly used to determine whether a person consumes smokeless tobacco or not. In India, at least 9-10 million women are engaged in underpaid or unpaid tobacco-related occupations that ensure low production costs for tobacco firms but have severe health consequences. Health-related practices play significant roles in chronic disease causation and prevention. Tobacco use has been described as a detrimental activity that causes morbidity and mortality, among other risk factors. The Chronic Care Model is a guide to the treatment of higher-quality chronic illnesses in primary care. The Chronic Care Model was evolved through a systematic and detailed literature review of chronic disease and is currently being tested in an extensive study involving the assessment of chronic disease treatment processes and outcomes. This review provides the description about the utilization of Chronic Care Model to help patients realize that not only is it a habit to use smokeless tobacco, but a life - threatening condition in which long-term therapy is needed to cure it.
