Promoting smoking cessation in Bangladeshi and Pakistani male adults: pilot randomised controlled trial

英国的国家已经承诺减少吸烟的流行，因为它是发病率和死亡率的单一最大的可预防的原因。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。为了帮助吸烟者戒烟，我们建立了一个全国性的戒烟服务网络，并在NHS中提供药物治疗。然而，大多数试图停止使用这些服务的人并不使用这些服务，来自巴基斯坦和孟加拉国群体的人尤其不可能这样做。这一点很重要，因为这些服务是有效的，没有它们的支持，依赖程度较高的吸烟者很少会成功。我们的建议旨在发展更好地满足这两个族裔吸烟者需求的服务配置。因此，我们建议为成千上万的处境特别不利的英国公民提供更好的服务，他们有明显的需求，政府承诺满足他们的需求，但目前显然没有做到这一点。

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.
