gutka
Gutka or Guṭkha is a preparation of crushed areca nut, tobacco, catechu, paraffin wax, slaked lime and sweet or savory flavorings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CPAA: Quit Smoking Campaign, Anti Tobacco & Quit Smoking Campaign )〕 It is manufactured in India and exported to a few other countries. A mild stimulant, it is sold across India in small, individual-sized packets that cost between 2 and 10 rupees per packet. Gutka is consumed by placing a pinch of it between the gum and cheek and gently sucking and chewing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CDC - Fact Sheet - Betel Quid with Tobacco (Gutka) - Smoking & Tobacco Use )〕 It is considered responsible for oral cancer and other severe negative health effects.〔 As with paan and other smokeless tobacco products, there are preventive efforts to encourage users to quit and young people not to start.
== Characteristics ==
Gutka is a powdery, granular, light brownish to white substance. Within moments of chewing mixing with saliva, the gutkha begins to dissolve and turn deep red in color. It may impart upon its user a "buzz" somewhat more intense than that of tobacco chewing, snuffing and smoking.
