The poloidal variation of the parallel viscous and heat viscous forces are determined for the first time using a rigorous Chapman--Enskog-like approach that has been developed recently. It is shown that the poloidal variation is, like the poloidal distribution of the trapped particles, concentrated on the outer edge (large major radius side) of the tokamak.
