INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY
•Paan is a compound of natural substances chewed for its psychstimulating effects.
• Betel is composed of the nut of the areca palm (Areca catechu), theleaf of the betel pepper (Piper betel), and lime (calcium hydroxide).
• Approximately 200 million persons chew betel regularlythroughout the western Pacific basin and south Asia.
• When betel is chewed, it produces mild psychoactive andcholinergic effects.
• There is copious production of blood-red saliva that can stain oralstructures.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY-• The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World
Health Organization (WHO) accept the scientific evidence that chewing
betel quids and areca nut is carcinogenic to humans.
• 30 scientists from 10 countries reported there is sufficient evidence
that paan chewing, even without tobacco, leads to tumours in the oral
cavity and oesophagus.
•
These findings led us to conduct a study of the people of Mahmoorganjlocality in Varanasi so as to find the implications of paan and whether it
has any effect on the health of people.

Relation between people who have thought of quitting paan and those
who have seen anyone who have faced severe health consequences

CONCLUSION
•
We observed that a strong majority of jarda paan consumers does notthink that paan consumption causes mouth ulcer, which clearly shows
the lack of awareness among people.
• The adverse health impacts of this high paan consumption use will be
enormous when the country is already facing poverty and malnutrition.
• Those consuming paan more than thrice a day agree to a large extent
that consuming paan causes mouth ulcer.
• We can easily observe that those who feel restless without consuming
paan or who consume it on a regular basis suffer from tooth problem.

•
A large number of respondent who suffer from mouth ulcer does notconsume gutka but consumes khaini on a regular basis.
• Gutka is used as a substitute for paan and contains paan masala and is
used for refreshment. So, maybe people don’t realize that consuming
paan causes mouth ulcer.
• We have seen that there is a lack of awareness among people about the
health implication of paan consumption.

RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS
• There is a lot of unawareness among general public regarding the ill-
effects of Paan consumption on their physical and mental health. Thus,
there should be a comprehensive and proper awareness program so as
to educate the people about various facts of Paan consumption and the
physical harm it causes over long time-period.
• Also, our finding suggests that jarda causes more harm than anything
else when it is taken with betel leaves during paan consumption. And,
majority of people consuming jarda paan is unaware of this. Hence, we
also need to make them aware of the substitutes of jarda paan and
pursue them to stop using or minimize the use of jarda paan. This will
vastly improve the deteriorating health condition of people consuming
paan.
