Paan Spitting: Leicester's Red Stain Problem
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Residents in Leicester grapple with a growing issue: streets stained by paan, a stimulant common in South and Southeast Asian communities. Paan, a mix of betel nut, tobacco, and spices, leaves unsightly marks when spat out, causing frustration and health concerns. Councils are taking action, with fines and awareness campaigns, but the problem persists in other areas like Brent Council in London, where paan spitting poses significant health risks and environmental damage.
