Effect of Intensity of Cigarette Smoking on Haematological and Lipid Parameters

Abstract: Background: Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death and major tobacco related diseases like cancer costs India more than Rs.308.33 billion per year. Cigarette smoking increases the total peripheral blood leukocyte count but its effect on other haematological parameters is largely unexplored.

“…In addition to increased eosinophils, we also observed that smoking in the control workers was associated with increases in total white blood cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, B lymphocytes, and CD4 1 T cells, and a decrease in NK cells. These findings have also been reported in other studies that included healthy adults [Moszczynski et al, 2001;Haswell et al, 2014;S et al, 2014]. Cigarette smoke contains more than 45,000 components ranging from particulate matter to organic and inorganic chemicals and gaseous components, which have various toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects.…”

“…Importantly, our data showed comparable cPMNs parameters amongst the participants; only the cPMN numbers were higher in the edentulous participants. We cannot exclude a possible effect of the general health status on the cPMN counts (45). As tooth loss has been proposed as a marker for systemic changes associated with a higher risk for developing chronic disease, including changes in lifestyle and socio-economic factors, infection, and inflammation (46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51), it is not surprising that smoking and the use of medication were reported more frequently in edentulous participants.…”

“…The significant increases in WBC count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV, and MCH in those who smoked are consistent with previous studies. 7,21,22 Smith et al reported that total WBC count and its components were strongly associated with cigarette smoking and that smoking cessation may have an almost immediate impact on pathophysiologic processes such as inflammation that may be indicated by WBC count. 21 Malenica et al showed that continuous cigarette smoking had severe adverse effects on hematological parameters (eg, hemoglobin, WBC count, MCV, RBC count, hematocrit) and that these alterations might be associated with a greater risk of developing atherosclerosis, polycythemia vera, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular diseases.…”
