ABSTRACT
The present study is designed to observe the effects of chronic cigarette smoking on lipid profile including triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL- C. A total of 102 [30 non-smokers and 72 smokers] apparently healthy male subjects with similar dietary habits and socioeconomic conditions were selected for this study. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-C were significantly increased in smokers [group B], when compared with non-smokers [Group A], while the level of HDL-C was significantly decreased in smokers as compared to the non-smokers. Total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL-C were significantly increased in heavy smokers [Group B2] as compared to the moderate smokers [Group B1] and that of HDL-C was significantly decreased in heavy smokers as compared to moderate smokers
