Kerala bans pan masala and its variants

The Hindu : States / Kerala : Kerala bans pan masala and its variants

 

[Bobbyguitarist]

Seems like Kerala and Goa are the only two states in india which think about its people.

 

[sanke1]

Need a total ban only because people spit in all corners and spoil the beauty of new constructions.

 

[Jonas]

Need this ban in Delhi as well.

 

[Sai]

Very bad. Areca Nut prices gonna fall now. Why don't they fine people spit all over instead of banning pan masala itself?

Fining people is relatively difficult.

[Sai]

But banning it gonna hit we (farmers) badly.

 

[x720]

^Will one state really make a difference, unless ofcourse others follow suit, which I find rather doubtful.

Oh! Now I got why you were defending it, I was doubtful of you consuming Pan Masala to be honest.

 

[rkburra]

Will be more happy if Maharastra bans it. It will be difficult because majority of govt employees and police cops consumes gutaka/pan masala.

why dont they ban all tobacco products? Just because the cigarette Industry is strong?

Taxes on cigarettes bring in a lot of money, so governments are reluctant to ban them outright. Also, the tobacco lobby is very strong - one can only imagine how much money flows from tobacco into the pockets of our netas and babus.

Remember when Maharashtra banned Gutkha.There was a huge black market and politicians and goons earned a lot.
