In India, there are several local products that involve what some might call \“gambling with life\“ due to their risky nature or potential health impacts. One notable example is gutka, a chewing tobacco product that is widely consumed despite known health risks. Many users continue this habit, essentially gambling with their long-term health for short-term satisfaction.
Another area where Indians gamble with life is through the use of unregulated traditional medicines. While Ayurveda has many legitimate benefits, some practitioners offer untested remedies for serious conditions, leading patients to risk their health without proper medical oversight.
The agricultural sector also sees farmers gambling with life when using unapproved pesticides or farming methods that may yield quick results but pose long-term health and environmental dangers. |
