Pan masala is a popular mouth freshener in Bangladesh and is used by both men and women. It is made of betel leaf, areca nut, slaked lime, catechu, cardamom, cloves, fennel seeds, and tobacco. Additionally, pan masala consumption has been growing in Bangladesh in recent years due to rising disposable incomes and changing social norms.

The use of tobacco, including cigarettes, beedi, and other products, has been linked with an increased risk of developing various types of cancers such as lung cancer and oral cancer.
