I told my Maoi that UK bans Paan

Earlier this year my youngest sister got married, I as the elder brother took full responsibility of organising. Bengalis being Bengali; we consume a lot of paan and designer spicy "killi" (paan wrapped in sugar and spice and in some cases tobacco leaf). I had to order two cases of paan so the women folk could decorate several thaal. 

At that time there were a restriction on Paan import from India (tested positive for salmonella), that is not a good thing, especially as the local Grocer decided to treat this shortage as a way of making a lot of money. There were stories of the local Mas Bazaars charging £1 for two leaves of paan (yes thats right - TWO!!). A kilo of paan reached £55. I managed to buy two cases (from a guy I know who works at one of the shops ordered directly from wholesalers for me). 

There are of course various health warning on Paan consumption. My new "Maoi", consumes a kilo of paan per week. It is fortunate that my new Thaloi is a very wealthy man and made sure that the supply never runs short. 

What’s going to happen to us poor people (FYI: I don't consume paan). It is going to cost more than certain class C drugs and definitely more than a packet of cigarettes. We need to look ahead and start opening a rehabilitation centre for our dear uncles and aunties “The Priory Paan Clinic”. I wonder, if ever there is a total ban on Paan - what will Maoi do?
Any suggestions??
