A gutkha user can easily be identified by a prominent stained teeth ranging from mild dirty dirty yellowish-orange to reddish-black. The stains are difficult to remove by normal brushing and usually need the attention of a dentist.
After gutkha is consumed, it is generally spat onto a wall or the ground, causing an unsightly red stain that is quite resistant to the elements. Some building owners have taken to combating this unpleasantness by painting murals of gods on their walls, with the idea that gutkha-chewers would not spit on a god.
And you know wikipedia is never wrong. :wink:
Do a Google image search for "gutka spit" - absolutely disgusting. Especially page 2.
