Betel chewing is a tradition habitual custom since a long time in our community. It takes part to serve guest in social gatherings and functions. It is prepared by combining betel leaf, areca nut, lime, cutch and tobacco, then it is chewed, spat or swallowed.
Let see what the consequences are. Advantages are that our elders’ belief it makes oral cavity free from bad smell and makes our teeth stronger which is unproven. It also creates a feeling of euphoria.
Disadvantages are poor oral hygiene, betel nut interferes with iron absorption which is vital for haemoglobin in our bodies. Fungus on betel nut and tobacco can damage liver (viral hepatitis is common in our community). Betel chewing is also considered as uncivilized for indiscriminate betel spitting. Betel is a confirm carcinogen by WHO (World Health Organisation).
