Abstract:	A retrospective study (1983-1989) of oral squamous carcinomas and concomitant oral habits was undertaken in South African Indians from Natal. Information came from hospital records aers compared with controls, as well as nicotine alone, clearly indicated a more clastogenic and genotoxic effect following the addition of areca nut to tobacco. The effects observed following the treatment with a low dose for a longer duration are of relevance to the condition of oral mucosa of the chewers of tobacco with areca nut.
