Why is betel nut so harmful that it has not been banned?

1, the economic value brought by betel nut can not be ignored in a few areas. Betel nut also has economic value. In some places, the economic benefits brought by betel nut even occupy a decisive position. If the cultivation and circulation of betel nut are banned immediately, the economy of these areas will be greatly affected, the corresponding employment situation will become severe, and the income of local farmers will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary for betel nut to exist in these places, and only then can it have new industrial support.

2, betel nut and drugs, not a grade of goods. Betel nut is harmful to human body, but not everyone who chews betel nut will definitely get sick; Drugs are different. No matter who they are, once they are contaminated, it is difficult to quit. At the same time, although the human body also has a certain dependence on betel nut, this dependence is easy to quit, unlike drugs, it is difficult to quit.

3. Areca catechu has application value in the field of medicine. Because of the nature of my account, I won't discuss this issue in detail. Anyway, betel nut is also needed for compatibility in many traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

Generally speaking, the harm of betel nut to human body is far greater than its benefits, and the reason why farmers have not banned the cultivation and circulation of betel nut in China is to temporarily take advantage of its favorable side. I believe that once the industrial structure adjustment in our rural areas is completed, restrictive measures will be formulated. At present, we ordinary people should be self-disciplined, fully aware of the dangers of betel nut, consciously stay away from betel nut and change the habit of chewing betel nut frequently, which is very beneficial to us personally and society!
