| Abstract | ||
| Background Cigarette smoking is one of the most serious health issues worldwide and contributes to the development or progression of numerous chronic diseases like cardiovascular, lung cancer, and others. According to the American cancer society, tobacco smoking kills Americans more than alcohol, car accidents, HIV, and illegal drugs combined. Aim of This work: To investigate the impacts of heavy cigarette smoking on WBC, RBC platelets counts, and certain hematological indices such as Hemoglobin, HCT, MCV, MCH, and MCHC of smokers males and compared with non-smokers. Methods: A total of (150) healthy males were included in the present study as volunteers from the Hilla city population. The participants were divided into two groups smokers (n=100) and nonsmokers (n=50) as control. Blood of 5 ml was drawn under sterile conditions for complete blood analysis. The obtained data were discussed statistically analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The results showed the mean +SD for all hematological parameters. It was found that the values of WBC, RBC, and platelets counts were significantly higher in smokers compared with the non-smokers (P≤0.05). The levels of HCT, MCV, and HGB indices Were significantly increased in smokers than that of the control. The rest of the other parameters MCH, and MCHC in smokers were slightly higher compared the nonsmokers but were not significant. | ||
