      Objective: Tobacco consumption is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. India is one of the largest consumers of tobacco worldwide. We assessed the trend of tobacco use among Indian males over a period of 20 years using data obtained from four rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS).
      Methods: Data on tobacco usage and relevant socioeconomic variables obtained from NFHS rounds 2 to 5 over the period 1998-2021, was used for analysis. Specifically, data were available for 138,951 males from NFHS-2, 74,369 males from NFHS-3, 112,222 males from NFHS-4, and 101,839 males from NFHS-5. Significance of association between various socio-economic factors and tobacco usage was ascertained using a multicategory logistic regression model.
      Results: Among all the forms of tobacco, smokeless tobacco was predominantly used by Indian males. The proportion of smokers and those using both smoke and smokeless forms peaked during NFHS-3, followed by a consistent dip; however, the use of smokeless tobacco plateaued from NFHS-4 to NFHS-5. NFHS-5 shows that 19.2% of Indian males smoked, 27.0% used smokeless tobacco, and 6.3% used both. Tobacco use has declined significantly over the last two decades. Tobacco usage is noticeably higher among the elderly, Muslims, and those from the backward classes, while it was considerably lower for individuals belonging to the educated and wealthier segment.
      Conclusion: There has been a steady decline in tobacco use in India over the past 22 years, specifically in the smoke-form category. However, smokeless tobacco use remains nearly unaffected. The outcome of this study might aid policymakers in devising targeted tobacco control policies and improving existing ones.
