The app-based delivery service Dunzo has stopped sales of cigarettes and other items categorized as “paan” on its platform for Android users, the company said in a notice. “Paan items have been discontinued on the Android app,” the company told users on the Android app. “Use our website Dunzo.com to get Paan Shop items delivered to your doorstep.” Paan is Dunzo’s cigarette category. The category, along with cigarette listings from partnered retail outlets, are still available on iOS and desktop.
“In accordance with Google Play store policy, delivery apps can no longer list tobacco products, hence they have been delisted from the Android app,” a spokesperson from Dunzo told MediaNama over email.
