Abstract
T he effects of Cigarette smoking on human health was carried out using a total of 80 subjects sample among whom are 40 smokers and 40 non - smokers. Full Blood Count (FBC), Platelet count and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) tests were carried out in the laboratory. The subjects were consuming a total of 11 - 15 cigarettes daily for at least 5 - 8 days. The result revealed that smokers had a high leve l of white blood cell count of 5.63 ± 1.27g/l and non - smokers had count of 4.97 ± 0.59. The red blood cell count of smokers were 4.92±037/l and non - smokers 4.32±0.37. The Heamoglobin concentration of smokers were 15.43±144g/dl and 14.08±1.11g/dl for non - sm okers. For packed cell volume the smokers had a level of 4.72±3.81% and non - smokers 36.90±3.73. The Platelet count for smokers were 242.33 ± 59g/l and 175.33 ± 34.47 for non - smokers . The Lymphocyte count for smokers and non - smokers were 51.33±89% and 31.45 ±7.62 respectively. Means cell volume for smokers and non - smokers were 92.64±3.44 and 90±3.41, respectively. The ESR level for smokers were 16.51±3.96 and 8±2.90 for non - smokers . The means cell heamoglobin concentration level of smokers were 32.37±1.66 and 30.97±1.08 for non - smokers . Smokers level of MCH was 29.65±1.78 and 29.46±1.60 for non - smokers . Monocyte level for smokers was 9.92±1.77 and 2.59±1.33 for non - smokers . Basophil level for smokers was 0.21±0.41 and 0.36±0.46 for non - smokers . Eosinophil for smokers was 2.64 ± 1.23 and 0.90 ± 0.91 for non - smokers . Neutrophil level for smokers were 39.82±7.63 and 47.18±6.81 for non - smokers . The result showed that cigarette smoking had a significant effect on hematological parameters and this mi ght be associated with a greater risk of developing atherosclerosis, polycythaemia vera, chronic obstruction, pulmonary disease, Cardiovascular diseases and as such should be discouraged.
