Smoking is a leading preventable cause of death and illness worldwide 1, 2. Hematological parameters of smokers were affected withĬontinued long-term low-intensity smoking. These parameters correlate with the severity of smoking. Conclusions: The severity of smoking can be quantifiedīy the exhaled breath CO and blood COHb% levels as Number of cigarettes smoked per day, smoking duration, andīrinkman index. MCV and MCH were positively correlated with the The number of cigarettes per day, duration of smoking, andīrinkman index were positively correlated with eCO andĬOHb%. Lymphocyte count, Monocyte count, and Granulocyte count. (MCHC), total White Blood Cell total count (WBC), (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration Results: Smokers had significantly higher values of eCO,ĬOHb%, Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT), MeanĬorpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Were compared with the non-smoking group.

A venousīlood sample was analyzed for a full blood count. Used to quantify the level of smoking exposure. Smokerlyser (Smokerlyser®, Bedfont) was used to estimateĮCO and COHb% in exhaled breath and Brinkman index was Sociodemographic data, smoking habitsĪnd anthropometric data were recorded. Non-smoking males (n=180) from Colombo district, Sri Methods: Adult male daily smokers (n=360) and matched Intensity on exhaled breath carbon monoxide (eCO),Ĭarboxyhemoglobin (COHb%) and hematological parameters. The study aims to assess the effects of smoking Smoking has both acute and chronic effects on hematological Preventable cause of death worldwide and a major riskįactor for several non-communicable diseases. Introduction: Tobacco smoking is the single most
