The Odisha Government on Tuesday announced a State-wide ban on the manufacture, sale and use of gutkha and chewing tobacco containing nicotine.
“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.
