Hi,

Khaini increases your risk of developing oral cancer and also stains your teeth. People who quit tobacco usually gain some weight within a few months, but improvement in health is seen even earlier. When you quit, you are likely to feel irritable and restless for a few days and may have an intense craving for it. It improves in a few days. So go ahead and quit.

Best wishes.
