Yes and yes. But I'm not suited to it (nor do I want to be since it is a major cause of oral cancer, and for the reason you mentioned above).
So I take it the streets and sidewalks are all stained red? Have you tried it? I did in India, more of an acquired taste/effect I think.
oh yes!!
Is Betel nut chewing popular there?
