India’s Bad Habit Carried Overseas - India Real Time - WSJ
Excerpts:

Ban all the tambaku man,this is really shameful.

Just because goras are not in the habit of chewing Paan it's become a 'bad habit that can't be carried overseas'.

@Skallagrim: That and the fact that it causes cancer.

its unhealthy because it causes cancer... also people tend to spit the red juice like pichkari everywhere ...

here IN JAKARTA also every thing available....MIRAZ/MANIKCHAND/GOA GUTKA/CHAINI KHAINI/KUBER/...ETC

Guys will we ever come out habit of pitying ourselves. Eating paan with tobacco is bad, so does the smoking cigarettes, tobacco chews, drugs and rave parties.

Bottom-line, none of the society is immune to bad habits. If eating paan is a bad habit we can count 100 of bad habits followed by westerners.

We should stop the habit of mulling our own brothers and sisters and start to stand up and learn say bad thing bad irrespective from where they originate.

no one eats paan though like south asians
plus no one in west spits their ciggs, drugs, etc on the ground as they know they are civilized.. meanwhile south asians spit paan everyone on the streets.

i remember my uncle would always keep paan on top of his fridge.. us kids would go up and eat it... we got addicted but i stopped.. that day we got alot of hits but my uncle stil chews paan his teeth looks like $hits!!
