Do you use tobacco in another form
such as Paan, Guthka or Shisha?
Did You Know?
Using these forms of tobacco can be harmful to your health
• Substances such as Paan, Gutkhu, Betel (areca nut) and Naswar can
have harmful effects in your mouth such as gum disease and also
increases the risk of other cancers including mouth cancer
• Smoking shisha is NOT safer than smoking cigarettes; a shisha
smoker may inhale as much smoke in one session as a cigarette
smoker would inhale after smoking 100 cigarettes
• Sharing a shisha mouthpiece can spread diseases such as herpes,
hepatitis and tuberculosis
We can help you stop using all forms of tobacco.
We have a bilingual advisor who can help you.
