Withdrawal symptoms of tobacco
I think my brother (22 years old) keeps cool-lip/khaini or a tobacco pouch under his lips.
If I take him to a dentist, can he/she tell how frequently is he doing it and since when he's doing it?
What should be done to get rid of it, if he's addicted and what are the most common withdrawal symptoms?

Yes .
Dentist can tell pretty close to accurate of how frequently your brother is taking those tobacco pouches , symptoms of using tobacco depends person to person and varies .
To get rid of it , motivate your brother to take care of his oral health . Ask him what he likes about tobacco , is it more important than his own health. Counsel him about tobacco , its various complications etc. Rest depends on the will power of your brother.
Withdrawal symptoms includes sleeping disturbances , urge to use tobacco , stress etc but all these symptoms are just for few days and its not necessary that they will occur.
