Highlights
- Tobacco use remains a leading cause of oral cancer, but the tobacco landscape is evolving, with increasing use of non-cigarette tobacco products and dual-use of multiple product types. This study evaluated exposure to known carcinogens according to recent use of different tobacco product types, alone or in combination.
