They're thousands of miles apart, but communities in Beeston and Pakistan are set to face the same challenge -
how to make their homes smoke-free.
Leeds Primary Care Trust has already run the campaign successfully in various areas since 2002 and its methods are now being adopted nationally.

Now the smoke-free homes team is targeting Beeston and during the next six months will be visiting primary schools, mosques and community centres to educate people on the dangers of second-hand smoke.

It will focus primarily on the south Asian community where there is a higher level of smoking prevalence and it is hoped that the findings will help develop regional and national health policy.
