Abstract
Smoking in different forms is considered as a chief hazard factor for atherosclerosis, coronary heart sickness and peripheral vascular disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on lipid profiles and haemoglobin levels in adult males smokers compared with non-smokers. This study was performed on 60 subjects from which 30 were smokers and 30 non smokers they were used as (controls). Mean serum lipid profiles and haemoglobin levels were measured in smokers and non-smokers. The level of haemoglobin for the smoker was significantly decreased compared with that of non-smokers (p<0.05) whereas the CHOL, LDL, HDL levels for the smoker were significantly deferent when compared with the controls (p<0.05) and TG was not significantly deferent (p>0.05) compared with the control. There were effect of cigarette smoking on haemoglobin and serum lipids (CHOL, LDL, HDL) and there was no effect of cigarette smoking on the TG level on smokers.
