Regulating Betel Nut consumption

Betel nut is so commonly consumed esp in MP, UP, Delhi, Rajasthan, Bihar, West Bengal and other North India states. Global health experts view on betel nut is below. Can FSSAI regulate consumption of betel nut in India or atleast move it from open sale to packaged sale with warnings.

Eating 8-30 grams of betel nut can cause death. Chewing betel nut can make your mouth, lips, and stool turn red. It can cause stimulant effects similar to caffeine and tobacco use. It can also cause more severe effects including vomiting, diarrhea, gum problems, increased saliva, chest pain, abnormal heart beats, low blood pressure, shortness of breath and rapid breathing, heart attack, coma, and death. more

Betel nuts were being consumed along with betel leaves by majority of people in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh for centuries and was being believed that consuming betel leaves along with limestone (in paste form) after each meal helps in digestion. Though consumption of betel leaves have substantially reduced during present age, there are lot of people who still enjoy it and consume several betel leaves prepared with different ingredients, in a day. I have seen my parents and other family members to consume several paan (betel leaves) along with betel nut and other masalla in a day but never had come across of any health hazards alike the ones referred to in the post. However, its consumption may cause some kind of gum problems, as mentioned. Betel nuts are also considered very auspicious in performing our most of the pujas. I do not thing that the matter involves any serious consequences and FSSAI has any role to play. more  
FSSAI can issue advisories like in case of tobacco products. What else can be expected and why when our so called highly educated people take pride in making foot ball of FSSAI advisories very important for them. more  
Besides debatable health hazards its spitting is in public has to be avoided. more  
Let us not bring "Betel Nut consumption" into any dispute. They will come under natural or herbal consumption. more
