N2 - SUBJECTS AND METHOD: One hundred and fifty six subjects participated in this study, 56 smokers and 100 non-smokers. The smokers were regularly consuming 10-20 cigarettes per day for at least 3 years. Complete blood cell count was analyzed by CELL-DYN 3700 fully automatic haematological analyzer.RESULTS: The smokers had significantly higher levels of white blood cell (p<0,001), hemoglobin (p=0,042), mean corpuscular volume (p=0,001) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (p<0,001). All other measured parameters did not differ significantly. Cigarette smoking caused a significant increase (p<0,001) in red blood cells, white blood cells (p=0,040), hemoglobin (p<0,001), hematocrit (p=0,047) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (p<0,001) in males in comparison to female smokers.CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our study showed that continuous cigarette smoking has severe adverse effects on haematological parameters (e.g., hemoglobin, white blood cells count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, red blood cells count, hematocrit) and these alterations might be associated with a greater risk for developing atherosclerosis, polycythemia vera, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or cardiovascular diseases.OBJECTIVE: Tobacco cigarette smoking is one of the major leading causes of death throughout the world. Smoking has both acute and chronic effect on haematological parameters. The aim of the present study was to assess the extent of adverse effects of cigarette smoking on biochemical characteristics in healthy smokers.
