Rajasthan bans spitting tobacco or pan in public places in order to curb highly contagious coronavirus.

‘New initiative has been taken under Section (2) of the Rajasthan Epidemic Diseases Act, 1957, in the larger public interest under which spitting after chewing tobacco or non-tobacco products has been banned with immediate effect.
’

In general, it is seen that after eating ’paan’ or chewing tobacco and non-tobacco products, people tend to spit in public places, thus increasing the chances of spreading the dreaded virus. 




To prevent this from happening, it has become imperative to ban such unhygienic habits, the Health Secretary said.
