An Appeal to all readers...........

Friends,
My one of my best friend has lost his father due to Cancer of throat.It was because of the Pan Masala with Tobacco and Tobacco Mava..chewing...
I have already lost my many good and very near friends due to eating and chewing Pan Masala and Mava that includes Tobacoo and Chuno...which is the most dreaded combination for converting it to a Cancer.....
Hence I request all my readers who are Eating or Chewing Mava or Pan Masala with Tobacco in it, to leave it immidiately....I have written Immidiately because there is no way to STOP CHEWING PanMasala slowly...these things are to be stopped at a stroke...otherwise one will never be able to stop it....
This chewing Pan Masala is seen more in our Gujarat State...do not know whether it is there onm South or East Region ...but maybe it is there in Mumbai and Maharastra....
Hope you all will take some clue from what I have written and act accordingly....at the earliest....
Best Of Luck to all who has Chewing habit and a request and advice and suggestion to leave at the earnest....

  1. Very sorry to hear that, Nakul ji. You are right... But bad habits are difficult to get rid of. Elderly people also think like "anyway i have lived my life - who knows when one is going to die" etc.

    Down south, chewing betel leaves with choornam (chunnambu in tamil) and arecanut is almost a ritual. But sometimes people do this aimlessly and it lulls the sense of hunger. Poor people in fact do this in order to lull their sense of hunger (not all, but i know of some). As far as I know Paan masala is not very prevalent in the south (i could be wrong)

    However opposite cases do exist. My great granddad lived till 95 and he used to chew raw tobacco but sporadically. But he was otherwise very discplined in his eating and walking habits - plus he lived in a relatively pollution free Kerala in that time (1970s) when he died...

    Thanks for the message.

    Warm Regards,

  2. Good message to warn people, but more importantly, sorry to hear about the loss of your friends father.

    This has been an issue for a while, but old habits are hard to break. Also, this is an issue in the US, even though it is hard to find the tobacco mava/masala.
