Generally spat onto a wall or at the ground, causing an unsightly red stain that is quite resistant to the

elements.

More than 2,500 people in our country die every day due to diseases caused by tobacco and its

related products.

Cancer to a person devastates his family as all savings are spent on the treatment of the

disease.

Gutkha use can begin at a

very young age.

Due to its often flavourful taste, easy availability and cheapness

Exhibit precancerous

lesions at a very early age as a

result.

Young Generation

Guthka Industry• The consumer base of tobacco in India stands at

34.6% of all adults .

while 75% of Indian tobacco consumers use non‐smoking tobacco products such as gutkha and paan masala.

• The gutkha market in India is worth

INR150bn ‐ INR 200bn. Sachets of several brands are sold through paan shops thus easily accessible to everyone.

Why the BAN??

Gutkha is proved to contain

carcinogens

A Supreme Court ruling states that since pan masala, gutkha and supari are eaten for taste and nourishment,

they are all considered food.

Rule 2.3.4 of the Food Safety and

Standards (Prohibition and

Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011.

under centrally enacted FSR act 2011

Subsequently various states have

banned the sale, manufacture and

distribution of gutkha

What we have observed is that there are so many children having habit of gutkha. Children of our society start this habbit at very early age.

Because guthkha’s cost is very much affordable for them.

Gutkha is available from Rs 5 /- in the market.

CHILDREN USING GUTKA

Parent even avoid to oppose them because most of the time they don’t understand that there children are having gutkha.

And most of the children start their habit with this and they may go up to drugs, and it is even costly, for getting this they start stoling things from home & neighbored. After some time we find them becoming big criminals

EFFECTS ON CHILDREN

The injurious substance is being sold at thousands of ‘paan shops’ in the city uninterruptedly.

A private TV channel reported that 30 percent of men, women and children in Karachi are habitual and addicted to the use of the substance.

They said that 18 town and cantonment areas of the city are selling Gutka at liberty and without fear of any intervention from any authority.

In KARACHI

Monthly Spending of GutkaE.g. Monthly Income: Rs/=12000

Cost of gutka per Packet: 10

Consumption of gutka per day: 10*10=100 packet

Total money spent on gutka: 3000

Suppose one person is eating 25 pouches in a day and is taking pouch of rs.8/-

Then he is wasting his Rs.200/- on it.

In this Rs.200/- he can buy around ½ kg almonds or Kajus.

RECOMMENDATION

We will try to help people from leaving their this bad habit. If they wish we would even use their money in some useful things like saving children from this habit.To stop child labor. To feed needed people.To provide educational kits to poor & needy people.

EFFECTS

To stop habit of gutka eater,

We will try to stop people from gutka eating.

Gutkha may cause cancer to eater but it is Spoiling our society, this is a slow poison.

STOP GUTKA

If we consider cost of Gutkha Pouch @ 1/- one person spend 1x25x365=9125/-per year, and @ 4/-per pouch the cost goes to 4x25x365=36500/- ,and @ 8/- the cost goes to 8x25x365=73000/-.

So gutkha eater stops his habit and try to help people he can feed 6 persons twice a day in his cost of purchasing gutkha pouches.

SPOILAGE OF MONEY

Government should take steps to completely ban use of the substance.

Gutka seriously affects environment in which people breathe, but those taking it do not refrain from the habit.

The news report stresses the need to take emergent steps to practically disallow and discourage use of Gutka and safe people from indulging in the habit.
