The Odisha Government on Tuesday announced a State-wide ban on the manufacture, sale and use of gutkha and chewing tobacco containing nicotine. With this, Odisha joined 18 other states having similar prohibition on tobacco in food products.
“I appeal to people to co-operate with the State Government to make Odisha a tobacco-free State,” Health and Family Welfare Minister Damodar Rout said.
A notification in this regard will be issued in a day or two, he added.
