Hi, My father is a regular gutkha (tobacco) consumer (5-6 packets a day) and also consume 200ml alcohol twice a week. I am worried about his health. Although he has not complained of any problem I was to: 1. Seek your advice if he should get tested for cancer proactively so that cancer can be detected early in case he suffers from it. 2. If yes, Which tests should be undergo at the minimum. 3. How can I convince him to quite tobacco?
