dc.description.abstractTobacco use is a global epidemic. Smoking claims more than 8 million lives annually across the globe. Further, it even poses a threat to nonsmokers who are exposed to cigarette smoke. Tobacco is most commonly used in the form of cigarette smoking across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted smoking habits, leading to visible differences in smoking rates. The current paper highlights and discusses alternative forms of smoking. Undoubtedly in the recent years, there is an advent of forms of alternative smoking, and a variety of tobacco products have been gaining popularity beyond traditional cigarettes. These products are preferred widely by the youth. Noteworthy to mention, these alternatives raise concerns about potential health risks and addiction. There is a paucity of research on the impact of alternative form tobacco usage on human health. The paper will provide an impetus for the researchers to explore further on the perspective of alternative forms of tobacco. It will also provide some essential leads to implement measures to mitigate the impact of alternative forms of tobacco usage on human health.en_US
