A beedi is a thin, Indian cigarette filled with tobacco flake and wrapped in a tendu or possibly even Piliostigma racemosum leaf tied with a string at one end. The name is derived from the Marwari word beeda—a mixture of betel nuts, herbs, and spices wrapped in a leaf.
A traditional method of tobacco use throughout South Asia and parts of the Middle East, today beedies are popular and inexpensive in India. There, beedi consumption outpaces that of conventional cigarettes.

I met the chap below near the Chinese fishing nets at Fort Cochin in Kerala. He was smoking a beedi and gladly allowed me to snap a few photos much to the delight of him and his friends. I’m not a smoker but couldn’t resist getting “low down and dirty” with many of the locals during the recent trip – communication jumped a few levels when I lit up my own beedi, sat on the ground, smoked and shared a few stories. Faces lit up, including my own, and we gossiped in half-English as best as we could.

A beedi (/ˈbiːdiː/; from Hindi: बीड़ी; also spelled bidi or biri[) is a thin cigarette or mini-cigar filled with tobacco flake and commonly wrapped in a Diospyros melonoxylon or Piliostigma racemosum leaf tied with a string or adhesive at one end. It originates from the Indian subcontinent. The name is derived from the Marwari word beeda—a mixture of betel nuts, herbs, and spices wrapped in a leaf.
A traditional method of tobacco use throughout South Asia and parts of the Middle East, today beedies are popular and inexpensive in India, where beedi consumption outpaces that of conventional cigarettes, accounting for 48% of Indian tobacco consumption in 2008.
Beedies deliver more nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar and carry a greater risk of oral cancers. As with many other types of smoking, beedis increase the risk of certain kinds of cancers, heart disease, and lung disease. They may also be more harmful than other forms of tobacco consumption.

This man was preparing and selling beeda made of sunambu, a cream of calcium, mixed with spices as cardamum, gulgandu, made out of honey and roseflowers and betel nut rolled up in a betel leaf at the corner of the South-Gate of the Meenakshi Temple.
Eating this prepared leafs stills the hunger or helps the digestion and has a sweet taste.
This is the common beeda used by all people ,ladies and children.
In the more spicy ones, Zarida beedy, some soft drugs are added giving a slight gear in the head.
A pan shop like this one is not from Tamil origine but rather from the North. In Tamil Nadu they used to chew on the beetle-leaf with tabacco.

Paan, from the word pān (Hindi: पान, Urdu: پان; lit. "betel vine"), is a stimulating, psychoactive preparation of betel leaf combined with areca nut. Paan is chewed before spitting or swallowing. Paan has many variations. Slaked lime paste is commonly added to bind the leaves. Some South Asian preparations include katha paste or mukhwas to freshen the breath.
Paan is also known as a betel quid. It is mostly consumed in Asia, and elsewhere in the world by some Asian emigrants, with or without tobacco, in an addictive and euphoria-inducing formulation with adverse health effects.
Paan is a ubiquitous sight in many parts of India and Southeast Asia. It is known as beeda in Hindi and vetrrilai or thambulum in Tamil, killi or tambulam in (Telugu), sireh (in Malay language), sirih (in Indonesian), suruh (in Javanese), mark (ໝາກ) in Lao, and bulath (in Sri Lanka). In urban areas, chewing paan is generally considered a nuisance because some chewers spit the paan out in public areas – compare chewing gum ban in Singapore and smoking ban. The red stain generated by the combination of ingredients when chewed are known to make a colourful stain on the ground. This is becoming an unwanted eyesore in Indian cities such as Mumbai, although many see it as an integral part of Indian culture. This is also common in some of the Persian Gulf countries, such as the UAE and Qatar, where many Indians live. Recently, the Dubai government has banned the import and sale of paan and the like.
According to traditional Ayurvedic medicine, chewing areca nut and betel leaf is a good remedy against bad breath (halitosis), but it can possibly lead to oral cancer.
In ancient India, women used to chew paan to acquire a redness on their lips and mouth, serving as a primitive lipstick.[ Some regarded Paan as a medicinal substance and an aphrodisiac drug. The practise of chewing Paan was adopted by Buddhism and thus the habit widened beyond India and moved to China, Vietnam, Burma, Thailand Cambodia, Malaysia, Sumatra and Bali. Paan is also identified as the cultural cause of high precancerous lesions or leukoplakia often leading to serious cancers in the oesophagus; Paan's ingredients are high in narcotic making it invariably addictive and thus detrimental. The habit of spitting out the chewed betel is also believed to aid the spread of diseases like tuberculosis.

Beeda made of sunambu, a cream of calcium, mixed with spices as cardamum, gulgandu, made out of honey and roseflowers and betel nut rolled up in a betel leaf outside the New Imperial Hotel. (which isn't a hotel, it's a restaurant.)
Betal leaves,known as "Vetrilai" in Tamil language, grows in abundance in Madurai district.
Some people have the habit of chewing betal leaves with betal nut and a dash of baked lime (the trio is also known as "Beeda")after their lunch.It is called "paan"in Hindi language.
The tongue and lips become red after chewing this and it dulls the taste buds for some time.
its not "no chewing gum" as you'd expect in a western cinema. In india it's "no chewing pan" (third line)
What is a PAN?
Betel Leaf, pan (in many Indic languages, हिन्दी : पान ), or beeda (in Tamil) is a type of Indian digestive, which consists of fillings wrapped in a triangular package using leaves of the Betel pepper (Piper betle) and held together with a toothpick or a clove.
Paan is chewed as a palate cleanser and a breath freshener. It is also commonly offered to guests and visitors as a sign of hospitality and eaten at cultural events. Paan filling is generally a mixture of various spices, fruits, and sugar. Paan makers may use mukhwas or tobacco as an ingredient to their paan fillings. Although many types of paan contain Betel nuts as a filling, many other types do not.

A beedi is a thin, South Asian cigarette filled with tobacco flake and wrapped in a tendu leaf, tied with a string at one end.
The word comes from beeda, Marwari for a betel leaf wrapped in betel nuts, herbs, and condiments.
Amber asked for blocks to mimic Denyse Schmidt's cheater print and gave us fabrics from her Joann's lines. I didn't have enough long strips to make another 12.5" block so this one is only about 9.5".
Paan Beeda, made using beetle leaves was being done at this shop. His shop and his bowls looked so colorful! He carefully mixes the ingredients to fix me a beeda...
