•Paan should not be eaten more than 3-4 times a day. Sleeping with paan in mouth is strictly forbidden. Tobacco filled paan is also very harmful.
•Those who suffer from diseases of tooth or gum, TB, epilepsy must not eat paan.
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMENDATION
•Excessive eating of paan destroys the elasticity of the tissues of mouth as result difficulty is faced in eating, adversely affects teeth to the point of its decaying.
•Because of its few medicinal effects its sale as a medicinal herb without tobacco and areca nut should be promoted.
•Government should publish advertisements against chewing of paan and ban in public place, just like against cigarette and tobacco.
