Descriptive statistics of the samples/participants of different age groups, consumers and non-consumers of intoxication substances1 (excluding the class of age in which sampling could not be done because of unavailability of participants).
1SNBC-Sole Betel Nut consumers, SGC-Sole Gutkha consumers, SS-Sole Smokers, SAC-Sole alcohol consumers, CI-Combined intoxication, NC-Non consumers; M-Male, F- Female.

Phylogenetic tree depicting relationship among the microorganisms of the oral cavities of individuals exposed to various intoxication substances (consumers/Intox), non-consumers (Non Intox) and cancer patients.
Table 1.
Distribution of microorganisms isolated from the oral cavity of consumer and non-consumers of intoxicating substances and cancer patients.
Fig 3.
Risk (odds ratio) of incidence of microbes when exposed to intoxicating substances1.
The x-axis represents occurrence of microbes on exposure (consumers) or non-exposure (non-consumers) to intoxicating substances, while the y-axis shows the odds ratio. The triangle symbol represents odds ration/Exp (B). The plot include odd ratio which significantly contributes to the regression. 1 B1 (Staphylococcus), B2(Bacillus), B3(Serratia), B4(Rhodococcus), B5(Pseudomonas), B6(Acinetobacter), B7(Enterobacter), B8(Klebsiella), Fl(Candida) CI-Confidence interval BNL-Betel nut with lime.

Risk (odds ratio) of health problems1 because of exposure (consumer), non-exposure (non-consumer) to intoxicating substances.
The x-axis represents symptoms/diseases with exposure (consumer), non-exposure (non-consumer), to intoxicating substances, while the y-axis show the odds ratio. The triangle symbol represents odds ratio/Exp (B). The plot include odd ratio which significantly contributes to the regression. 1 Acute cellulites (AC), Anorexia (AN), Appetite condition (APC), Arthralgia (AR), Drowsiness (D), Gingivitis (G), Granuloma (GL), Headache (H), Insomnia (INS), Mouth ulceration (MU), Myalgia (M), Nausea (N), Oral cancer (OC), Oral thrush (OT), Osteomyelitis (OS), Periodontitis (P), Vision (V) Cl-Confidence interval BNL- Betel nut with lime.

Risk of occurrence of health problems1 because of exposure to various microorganism2 irrespective of consumption or non-consumptions of intoxicating substances.
The x-axis represents odds ratio/Exp(B).
