Predator_05 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 what's a gutka? Gutka (also spelled gutkha, guttkha, guthka) is a preparation of crushed betel nut, tobacco, and sweet or savory flavorings. It is manufactured in India and exported to a few other countries. A mild stimulant, it is sold across India in small, individual-size packets that cost between 1 and 4 rupees apiece. It is consumed much like chewing tobacco, and like chewing tobacco it is considered responsible for oral cancer and other severe negative health effects. Used by millions of adults, it is also marketed to children. Some packaging does not mention tobacco as an ingredient, and some brands are pitched as candies - featuring packaging with children's faces and are brightly colored. Some are chocolate-flavored, and some are marketed as breath fresheners.[1] The gutka, a powdery, granular white substance, is placed between the bottom lip and the gum, or under the tongue. Within moments, the gutka begins to dissolve and turn deep red in color. It imparts upon its user a "buzz" somewhat more intense than that of tobacco.

Predator_05 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 chutki.. lol. remember that?? anywayz, paan all the way.. I tried that stuff once. It's quite popular. I don't know why some people find paan and gutka so damn repulsive. They are no worse than alcohol or cigarettes.

Gaurav Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Given a choice, which one would you rather chew ? That is asking for a dirty reply :haha:
The Outsider Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Gutka technically would mean it has tobacco in it, BTW. Paan is the clear winner for me.
Rajiv Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 how about none I cant believe it I thought gutka is UP culture
