Abstract
Background: Global adult tobacco survey-2 revealed that 42.4% of men and 14.2% of women reported currently smoking tobacco products. Every ninth adult in India (11.2%) uses khaini, the most popular tobacco product.

Statistically significant relation was found between Nicotine dependence with the type of family, education of the participants, marital status, age of initiation of tobacco use, frequency of tobacco use, and duration of tobacco use of the study participants.
