Betel-quid chewing is believed to be widespread among the Bangladeshi community resident in the United Kingdom. However, little is known about the prevalence and social aspects of behaviour of this habit among this community. The aims of this paper are firstly to report on a large study investigating the usage of betel-quid and tobacco chewing among the Bangladeshi community in the United Kingdom. Secondly to highlight the health education messages that should be promoted by health professionals.
