Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

Firstly, I appreciate your effort of coming forward to seek help for your relative. Pan parag or oral tobacco has numerous side effects, some of which can be dangerous. It can cause dental problems, gum problems, gastric ulcers, oral cancers, etc. So, it is very important that he stops this habit at the earliest.

There are effective strategies to help persons come out of this habit. This includes counselling and sometimes, medication. I would suggest that you take your relative to a good psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and for starting treatment.

Wish you all the best.
