A large case-control study in India reports that drinking about one standard drink a day (roughly 9 grams of alcohol) is associated with an estimated 50% higher risk of buccal mucosa cancer. The researchers also estimate that the combination of alcohol use and chewing tobacco may account for about 62% of cases nationally, with the strongest association seen among people who mainly consumed locally brewed alcoholic beverages.

Die Mehreinnahmen sollen genutzt werden, um die Mehrwertsteuer auf Arzneimittel zu senken. Im Vergleich zu Ländern wie Großbritannien und Australien ist Deutschland bisher nachsichtig mit der Zigarettenindustrie.
