Sir Health plays a great role for a nation. Tobacco leaves are extremely dangerous for health either uses in smoking of chewing.

The tobacco leaves alongwith other health hazards used substances to chew in shape of gutka is widely used in Karachi and other part of the country and mouth cancer is spreading rapidly due to chewing of tobacco. According to the World Cancer Research Fund Pakistan has the second highest rate of oral cancer in the world. Moreover, the Sindh high court slapped a ban on the sale and manufacturing of gutka and mainpuri across the province in this August. All violation of this law will be registered under section 337-A of the Pakistan penalise. Furthermore, Sindh police claimed to have registered 211 cases against offenders across the province predominantly in the city of Karachi. So the process should go head since the government authorities take action against of poison seller.
