Maharashtra government has extended the ban on sale and manufacture of gutka as well as paan masala to include all types of processed or packaged tobacco.

As a result, local vendors cannot sell paan (betel leaf) with flavoured tobacco, kaath and lime (edible calcium carbonate) and also 'maava' or 'kharra' (mix of processed tobacco, betelnut or areca nut and lime), 'khaini' (flavoured tobacco) or other processed and packaged tobacco products.
