Vimal is a type of pan masala, which is a preparation made of crushed areca nut (betel nut), tobacco, catechu, slaked lime, and sweet or savory flavorings in India. Vimal is a popular brand of pan masala that is manufactured in India and exported to a few other countries. It is also known as Vimal Gutka, which is a type of chewing tobacco preparation made of crushed areca nut, tobacco, catechu, paraffin wax, slaked lime, and sweet or savory flavorings. Vimal Gutka is consumed by placing a pinch of it between the gum and cheek and gently sucking and chewing.

Vimal Gutka has been reported to have stimulant and relaxation effects, and it is used all over India as a recreational drug. However, it is important to note that Vimal Gutka, like other forms of tobacco, has many side effects, including carcinogenic effects. Betel nuts, which are a key ingredient in Vimal, are a group 1 carcinogen.

In recent years, Vimal has faced legal issues due to its advertising of tobacco products. The brand name "Vimal" is registered for chewing tobacco, zarda, gutka (pan masala containing tobacco), and kheni. The company has argued that their product is 100 percent tobacco-free and as such "is not hit by the provisions of COTPA Act".
