Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Smoking is the most common habit and the largest health risk among people who have an impact on the human body. The goal of our study was to examine the effects of hookah (Shisha) on the liver, lipid profile, and blood content in adult smokers to adult non-smokers. Materials and Methods: A total of 50 men between the ages of 30 and 60 years took part in the study. These samples were divided into two groups: 30 smokers and 20 non-smokers. Every male is subjected to a complete medical history survey as well as frequent tests to rule out any underlying illnesses or diseases. Blood samples were taken in quantities of 10 mL to examine the blood. Blood samples were placed on the red roof when blood samples were used with anticoagulant factor. The identification of biological parameters was done using enzyme methods and a Random kit. Results: The results showed that Hb, PCV, WBC, ESR, platelets, and RBC were all elevated, whereas ALP and transaminase enzymes were not. Although not significantly, TC and TG increased the lipid profile findings. Our analysis yielded a wide range of outcomes. Various factors could be to blame for these disparities. Conclusion: We describe how future research will focus on the relationship between organ functions and their working tests for smoking effects based on our findings. Age, sex, nutrition, and hereditary behavior must all be included in future studies.

Highlights

Introduction and AimSmoking is the most common habit and the largest health risk among people who have an impact on the human body
The results showed that smokers had the highest hemoglobin (Hb) levels (16.2 = 0.523 g/dL) and non-smokers had the lowest (15.0 ± 0.452 g/dL), but there were no significant differences between their averages, in another hand, there was a significant increase in PCV level at (P≤0.05) for smokers (45.8 ±0.544) compared to non-smokers (40.1±1.26)
Our findings demonstrate that Shisha smokers (244 ± 6.59 103/ μL) had an insignificant increase in platelet levels as compared to non-smokers (224 ± 15.7 103/ μL), the People who smoked Shisha had a higher number of leukocytes (WBC) (6.73 ± 0.260 103/ μL) than non-smokers (5.84 ± 0.446 103/ μL) in leukocytes (WBC) tests

Summary

Introduction

Introduction and AimSmoking is the most common habit and the largest health risk among people who have an impact on the human body. Shisha (Hookah) is a method of smoking tobacco that was developed by Hakim Abul-Fath Gilani in the sixteenth century. The top is made up of a bowl that holds tobacco or molasses. It is covered with pierced aluminum foil, which is covered with eating charcoal. Shisha is known as the borry, argyle, hookah, whirlwind, or water pipe (Fig. 1) is a tobacco tube that draws smoke through the water in a bowl and has a lengthy but adjustable cylinder. [6] Hookah smoking is a major source of heavy metals that are harmful to human health. Heavy metals could be caused by the tobacco blends used in shisha
