Health teams are conducting surprise checks for ensuring strict implementation of the ban on all forms of chewable tobacco, including gutka, khaini and zarda.

The ban notification prohibits manufacture, storage, distribution or sale of tobacco which is either flavoured, scented or mixed with any additive.
Health officials, however, said that "no such ban will be enforced on cigarettes". The officials said there was a Delhi government notification in September 2012 which was in pursuance of a series of Supreme Court directions to ban gutka in the city. But since the ban mentioned the term gutka, the tobacco retailers had started selling the components of gutka in separate pouches.
So the purpose of banning gutka was not served, health officials told IANS. Therefore, the health department came up with a new proposal to ban all raw chewable tobacco products in Delhi, a senior official said.
