Pouch do not fall into the category of food
According to Section 2, 3 and 4 of the Food and Safety Act 2011, tobacco products are not considered in the category of food items. That's why Gutkha is being shut down. People are prone to illness due to nicotine in them.
As soon as the ban of gutkha is announced in the state, some companies have been preparing to sell gutkha in the second form. A company has started selling tobacco and pan masala in different packets so that it is not considered to be a gutka.
