People chew it to sweeten the breath and color (crimson) the lip and tongue and also to have some narcotic pleasure. Normally pan is chewed with shell-lime paste (chun) and areca nut or Betel Nut (supari). Many eat pan mixing it with additional elements such as coriander-seed, cinnamon, cardamoms and manifold flavoured dusts. (Photo by Ahmed Salahuddin/NurPhoto)
