Smoking safe sex
An Indian firm has created a condom which tastes like chewed tobacco especially for prostitutes.
Hindustan Latex is targeting the paan-flavoured prophalactic - which tastes like the pungent betel nut and tobacco concoction chewed by millions of South Asians - at prostitutes, as they are among the most vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.
The company tested prototype flavours including, chocolate, banana and strawberry, on sex workers but paan proved the most popular.
Sanjeev Gaikwad, director of Family Health International, said: "The community loved it as most of the sex workers chew paan." Paan condoms will initially only be available to prostitutes, but will we launched to the general public in a few months.
Paan is a mildly intoxicating preparation wrapped in a leaf which is chewed to a mouth-staining red pulp before being spat out.
