yes yes yes it should be banned, this is a pet hate of mine, all the time on TV you see sports people in the football and other games doing it all the time, and then I see kids in the street doing it thinking it is pretty cool, I think it is absolutely disgusting, don't those sports people think they spit and further down the game someone may be pushed face down in that, it makes me sick, I think they should get a fine every time they do it....

Herein india in cities okey with people they're aware of not to spit. In rural and villages lot of peopl without any symptom of munching or any thing habituated of spitting they dont know of the effects that spitting by them itself will cause diseases. Awareness also low comparing to cities , also those munching items also lot of availabile in villages is the main thing.

While I don't find spitting to be very attractive, I think that making it illegal would be taking it a little far. Here in Canada, you see people doing it all the time and it isn't illegal. I think there should be more of a focus on creating laws that actually make a difference, a law on spitting would seem a bit silly in my view.

It happens all the time here too. I have no idea if there's a law against it, but there are many important laws that are not enforced, like smoking in public...

"Spitting is a Nasty habit" Willy Wonka: "I know a worse one" That's a quote from Willy Wonka in which he apparently thinks picking your nose is worse. I'm not sure which is really because I'm pretty grossed out by this. There are actually some laws in the states in which Spitting is illegal, but it's one of those laws that is never really enforced. In any case it's gross and it shouldn't be done in public so often like it's nothing!
