        Abstract

        This presentation will highlight the scale of the problem of smokeless tobacco and shisha use amongst certain ethnic groups and will give an insight to how to access these groups, provide treatment using traditional NRT, break down cultural barriers and how, when and where to set up clinics to get maximum throughput.

        In addition, the paper will present findings from a number of focus groups that took place in Birmingham, Cardiff, Leicester and Slough. The focus groups looked at users awareness of product content, products used, symptoms of addiction, attempts to stop, cultural acceptance, age commenced, general use by the family, their views on the health impacts and ethnicity and gender breakdown.
