More support needed for smokeless tobacco cessation in South Asian communities, says new NICE guidance

More support needed for smokeless tobacco cessation in South Asian communities, says new NICE guidance: NICE has published final guidance on providing support for people in South Asian communities on stopping the use of  smokeless tobacco products, such as Paan, Gutka, Shupari, and Betel Quid.  Contrary to perceptions that these types of products are healthy or beneficial, they are in fact associated with serious health problems such as oral cancer, serious dental problems, heart attack and stroke, and problems in pregnancy.
