Abstract
We surveyed 821 Iowa teenage boys to establish patterns of smokeless tobacco use, occurrence of oral lesions and the effect of lesions on attitudes about quitting, current use and plans for future use. Results suggest that young ST users who currently have a lesion or have experienced lesions may be particularly receptive to discussion of quitting options and other information about ST health effects. Dentists and other oral health professionals should initiate ST intervention when establishing a lesion history or on discovering a lesion at examination.
