Abstract:	The method of use of betel nut in Papua New Guinea is described and the pharmacology and effects of betel nut reviewed. Both the social importance of betel-nut chewing in Papua New Guinea and its deleterious effect on health are emphasized. There is a need for more active and culturally appropriate health education programs to help prevent the negative effects of betel-nut chewing. PMID- 2816084
