Gutka highly addictive, causes oral cancer
Chalia less addictive
supaari least addictive of the three

Khaike paan Banaras wala
Khul jaye band akal kaa thala
phir tho aiyssa huwa dhamaal
Seedhi kar dee sab kee chaal
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?

Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
hmm. Makes sense now.
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
Good man!
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
I didn’t know that there was a difference between chalia and supari…learned something new.
My understanding of gutka is that it contains all the components of paan except for the paan leaf itself…

Paan is pretty harmless (the one without tobacco).
Gutka one the other hand is addictive, very addictive. I’ve never tried it, but people on gutka can’t quit. So I know it’s bad, like I know cigarettes are bad. Don’t know what it’s made of though.
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
betel nut. (we have a lot of pretty betel palms at home 
) that and tobacco are the nasty carcinogenic fellows in gutka. i’ve never seen proper paan made without betel nut and choona on it. so paan is just as bad too.
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
I haven’t had paan in about ten years. So yayy for me
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
As the saying goes, you get jhatka with gutka.
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
What does gutka look like?
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
Double meetha w/o challiyan and elaichi please
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
So what’s the stringy saffron looking thing in paan?
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
I always wanted to try the “meetha paan” in Pakistan. Didn’t have a clue what it contained, just heard some kids say they tried it so I was like well then I can eat it too but my mother didn’t think so. 
Re: What is the difference between supaari and chhaalia?
I remember loving the meetha paan back when I was a kid. Hai.
