    Beth A Glenn, Zul Surani et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2008Cited by: 1

    These findings emphasize the need to disaggregate data for South Asians and suggest that tobacco control interventions should target specific segments of the population (men, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis). Interventions to decrease use of smokeless tobacco products are especially warranted for South Asians
