[EIRI/EDPR/1668] J.C.416

INTRODUCTION

Pan masala tobacco is the refined tobacco with catechu, chuna, flavouring agents and perfumery compounds etc. It refreshens the mouth and gives the feeling of cold in throat when taken in small amount. Panmasala tobacco is chewed either with pan or directly without any other thing. Zarda of various grades, specified by different numbers, constitutes different proportions of zarda in tobacco. The higher the grade number of zarda panmasala, the higher it will contain zarda content. Zarda if taken in high dose is injurious to health and gives the feeling of laziness and unconsciousness. Kimam is the sweetened masala, usually taken by peoples who are not in regular routine of chewing tobacco. It is generally a mouth freshner and believed to increase appetite by improving digestion system.

Chewing Tobacco:

Chewing tobacco is cultivated in almost every state of the Indian Union. The important growing states are Chennai, Bihar, West Bengal, Punjab and U.P. Generally the same variety is consumed in a number of forms. Thus the disvariety (N. Tobacco) in Bihar is used both for hookah and chewing. The best middle leaves of Jati (N-tobacco and motihari M. Vasatica) with a brown colour thick texture and pungent taste are used. In Bengal for chewing while the rest of the leaves are used for hookah. The desi tobacco grown around Biswan in sitapur district is considered, suitable for chewing though it is also used to some extent for hookah.

In Punjab, the method of curing determine, the use, for hookah smoking, the tobacco is ordinarily pit cured while the same tobacco is ground cured for chewing purposes. In Mumbai Lalchopadi and Kakic opadi grown in bidi tracers are used for chewing and snuff. Desi tobacco of Assam is used for hookah and chewing. Indigenous varieties, grown in Mysore are used for chewing and bidies.

Other types which do not posses good burning and smoking quality, are used as chewing tobacco, however, there is a large average grown in many districts exclusively for use as chewing tobacco grown in certain areas is highly reputed in trade for this exclusively. It will be seen from the above, that except for the chewing tobacco grown in Chennai and Kerala state.

In most other cases, the method of cultivation is the same as for hookah tobacco. Although the official and accepted history of the development of tobacco an any appreciable scale in this country dates back to the advent of the Portuguese in the beginning of the 17th century, the very large number of reference tobacco was known.

The soil is black in certain parts of east India. Throughout the coremandal coast, particularly Gunture and East and West Godavari districts of A.P. are considered to be favorable to the growth of quality grade of tobacco. Approximately the agricultural excellence of this country, the Portuguese and the British organized the cultivation of this golden commercial crop.
