Relevant reporters visited, and some local convenience stores said that they had received the notice. Some merchants said that they had not received the notice of betel nut removal, and some merchants said that betel nut production enterprises could return their inventory.
Ordinary people can buy betel nuts, and Yiwu does not prohibit the sale of betel nuts. According to the response of relevant departments, we can draw a conclusion that Yiwu has not banned the sale of betel nuts, but it has put forward relatively strict requirements for the sale of betel nuts, which must be sold in different regions with food. The rumor circulating at this stage that betel nuts are required to be removed from the shelves should be that the relevant local departments are implementing actions.
The relevant departments will inform the merchants to pick the betel nuts, which means that the merchants need to pick the betel nuts that are now sold with food, and then separate them from the food in the name of betel nut products. It's just some problems that may occur in the process of communication, which leads some people to think that Yiwu prohibits the sale of betel nuts, but this is not the case. For the relevant manufacturers, although the policy sensitivity is relatively large, it is still difficult to remove betel nuts from the shelves in the whole city. ?
Therefore, ordinary people can still buy betel nuts, and before there is a real policy prohibiting the sale of betel nuts, ordinary people don't have to worry too much about not buying betel nuts.
For those who know that eat areca is harmful but still want eat areca, they should have the right to choose whether to eat or not. Just as everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, it is impossible for us to ban smoking completely. Therefore, the sale of betel nut should be restricted in the future, but it should be difficult to directly ban it.
