The most potent risk factor in the development of oral cancer is alcohol intake and tobacco use. It is important to note that around 75 percent of oral cancers are linked to modifiable behaviors such as tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption. The risk of developing oral cancer depends on the duration and frequency of tobacco use. About 70% of people diagnosed with oral cancer are heavy drinkers. This risk is higher for people who use both alcohol and tobacco. For people who smoke and drink heavily, the risk of oral cancer may be as high as 100% more than the risk for people who do not smoke or drink.<ref>{{Cite web | title =Wikipedia Oral cancer risk factors| url =https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_cancer }}</ref>
