It is the sixth most common cancer prevailing all over the world. The incidence of oral cancer in Asians has been reported to be very high due to various personal habits and poor knowledge about the occurrence and consequences if diagnosed with a deadly disease such as oral cancer. In the study, all the possible causes for occurrences of oral cancer have been extensively discussed and the study has also tried to investigate the possible underlying reasons behind the occurrence of the disease in a select population namely non-habit-related Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the diet and other habits affecting non-habit oral cancer patients. Materials and Methods: The study was performed in a university setting. The study reviewed patient records and analyzed the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020. The collected data were compiled and tabulated using Microsoft Excel. The tabulated data were then reviewed and then exported to the SPSS platform for performing statistical analysis. Results and Discussion: The study has taken a total of six parameters. Of them, only one parameter showed statistical significance and the p-value was found to be 0.0001 (p__ampersandsignlt;0.005). It is also important to note that while the other parameters did not exhibit any sort of statistical significance, all the parameters considered were found to be of paramount clinical significance. Within the confines of the study conducted, we have found out that factors such as chronic irritation, ulcers, sharp tooth, and diet does have a significant role in causing oral cancer.&#13;
