[amp_mcq option1=”Bihar and Rajasthan” option2=”Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh” option3=”Haryana and Jharkhand” option4=”Punjab and Karnataka” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a), Bihar and Rajasthan.<\/p>\n
Gutka and pan masala are both forms of smokeless tobacco that are known to be harmful to health. In July 2012, the governments of Bihar and Rajasthan banned the production, distribution, and sale of these products in an effort to protect public health.<\/p>\n
The ban was met with some resistance from shopkeepers and consumers, but it has been largely successful in reducing the availability of gutka and pan masala in these two states.<\/p>\n
The ban has been credited with helping to reduce the number of oral cancer cases in Bihar and Rajasthan. It has also been praised for its positive impact on the environment, as gutka and pan masala wrappers are a major source of litter.<\/p>\n
The ban on gutka and pan masala is an important step in protecting public health and the environment. It is a model that other states and countries could follow in their efforts to reduce the harmful effects of tobacco use.<\/p>\n
Here is a brief description of each option:<\/p>\n
(a) Bihar and Rajasthan: These two states banned the production, distribution, and sale of gutka and pan masala in July 2012.
\n(b) Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh: These two states have not banned gutka and pan masala.
\n(c) Haryana and Jharkhand: These two states have not banned gutka and pan masala.
\n(d) Punjab and Karnataka: These two states have not banned gutka and pan masala.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
