Pan masala is a traditional Indian chewable tobacco product that consists of areca nut, slaked lime, catechu, sweet or savory flavorings, and various aromatic spices. It is commonly consumed by placing a small quantity in the mouth, and the user may chew or suck on it to release the flavors and stimulate salivation. Pan masala is often offered as a refreshing and aromatic mouth freshener after meals or during social gatherings. However, it is essential to note that the consumption of pan masala, especially those containing tobacco or areca nut, has been associated with various health risks and is discouraged by health authorities due to its potential links to oral health problems and addiction issues.
