Anti tobacco counseling is best suited for Indian scenario because it is inexpensive and effective. Dental practice in the 21st century should ideally move from a restorative orientation to one of broader promotion of health and well being and it would be unconscionable not to include aggressive tobacco intervention in that paradigm.Keywords
