I live in a village in Malaysia and chewing betel nuts was once a big part of the culture here. The set with betel nut leaf and slake lime was kept in beautiful boxes and offered to guests and even local gods. Nowadays no one chews it except the indigenous people.

Strangely enough, most of the people who I see chewing betelnut here are also indigenous. Fit even in their 80’s.
