The prevalence of all types of tobacco use among men has been reported to be high in most parts of India (generally exceeding 50%). Nearly 95 to 100% of tobacco users develop periodontal diseases that have a diminishing effect on oral health.A structured paper-based self-administered questionnaire comprising 15 close-ended questions was formulated for the purpose of data collection for this cross-sectional survey and a sample size of 323 was estimated. Total enumeration sampling method was followed. A significant gender-wise and socioeconomic-status-wise difference was observed based on the form of tobacco used. In this cross-sectional study, 54 (16.7%) individuals began the habit before the age of 15 years, of which 14.2% of the individuals used the smoked variant and 2.4% of the individuals used the smokeless variant of tobacco.Total 265 (82%) individuals were aware that the habit was injurious to their health, of which 90% males and 86.4% females were aware of the harmful effects of the habit. While the awareness among the upper socioeconomic group was higher, the lower socioeconomic group displayed a lower level of awareness.To advocate effective tobacco cessation programs, understanding the dependence on tobacco habit and their knowledge and attitude toward quitting tobacco plays a major role. Hence the present study was conducted with an objective to assess the knowledge and attitude of the patients toward tobacco cessation.

HIV is a major health issue globally. Though highly effective antiretroviral therapy has improved the life expectancy, people living with HIV (PLHIV) suffer from many physical and psychological issues. The present study assessed perceived health status, quality of life (QOL) and treatment-seeking behaviour among PLHIV. The study was carried out among 75 PLHIV attending ART clinic of a tertiary care centre of North India. Convenience sampling technique was used. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Institute Ethics Committee. Participants were asked to rate their current state of health as perceived by them on a five-point scale ranging from poor to excellent. QOL was assessed by using WHOQOL-BREF (Hindi version). Treatment-seeking behaviour was assessed by a structured questionnaire developed by researchers. A total of 45.3% ( n = 34) rated it as fair, 22.7% ( n = 17) rated it as good 13.3% ( n = 10) rated it as poor, 10.7% ( n = 8) rated it as excellent and 8% ( n = 6) rated it as very good. QOL score was highest in physical health domain with a mean ± S.D. of 12.3 ± 4.1 (median 13) and lowest in the social relationships domain with a mean of 8.6 ± 2.9 (median = 8) ( p = .001). Most common reason of going for HIV testing was being symptomatic ( n = 21) followed by spouse testing positive for HIV ( n = 19). HIV impacts QOL of the PLHIV and treatment-seeking behaviour varies among the patients. There is a need to develop a multilevel approach involving all the stakeholders including patient, family and society.
