Hi,
Spots on face of your father would be due to age.. may be called senile lentigo. It has no relation with tobacco chewing. However, your father should stop tobacco chewing as it is dangerous for health. It may caus cancer also. Tell him to avoid sun exposure. Sun rays may promote exacerbation of spots on face.
Hope this helps.
