Panmasala
Pan masala is a chewable mixture, often consisting of crushed areca nut (betel nut), slaked lime, and sometimes flavored spices or sweeteners. It is commonly consumed in some cultures for its stimulant effects. However, it is linked to health risks, including oral cancer and other tobacco-related diseases when combined with tobacco.
