The countries of the UK have committed themselves to reducing the prevalence of smoking, as it is the single largest preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Many of the smokers of the UK are committed to this goal also; nearly one third try to stop each year. To assist smokers in their efforts, we have a national network of stop smoking services and make medication available on the NHS. However, most people who attempt to stop do not use the services, and people from Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups are particularly unlikely to do so. This is important because the services are effective, and without their support, very few of the more dependent smokers will succeed. Our proposal aims to develop service configurations that better meet the needs of smokers from these two ethnic groups. Thus we are proposing to offer better services to thousands of particularly disadvantage UK citizens for which their is a manifest need and Government commitment to meeting that need, yet currently manifest failure to do so.

联合王国各国致力于减少吸烟的流行，因为吸烟是发病率和死亡率的最大可预防原因。英国的许多吸烟者也致力于这一目标;每年有近三分之一的人试图戒烟。为了帮助吸烟者做出努力，我们建立了一个全国戒烟服务网络，并在国民保健服务中提供药物。然而，大多数试图阻止的人并不使用这些服务，来自巴基斯坦和孟加拉国团体的人尤其不太可能这样做。这一点很重要，因为这些服务是有效的，如果没有他们的支持，很少有依赖性更强的吸烟者会成功。我们的建议旨在发展更切合这两个族裔吸烟人士需要的服务组合。因此，我们建议为成千上万特别处于不利地位的英国公民提供更好的服务，他们显然需要政府承诺满足这一需要，但目前显然没有这样做。
