Consuming a liquid nitrogen-infused “smoky paan” landed a 12-year-old girl in Bengaluru on the operation table with a hole in her stomach. The girl consumed ‘smoky paan’ at a wedding reception. Diagnosed with a hole in her stomach (perforation peritonitis), she underwent a surgery to prevent further complications. Governments are warning people of dangerous effects of consuming liquid nitrogen directly.
