The study focused on examining the effect of smoking on some hematological parameters in venous blood of some male’s teachers in Al-Beida intermediate from January to April of 2026. This study included (31) samples of males which had divided in 2 groups: the first group is about 15 males who smoked Cigarette and Hookah daily, the number of cigarettes (7-40) daily , while the time of smoking hookah is about (4-3) times daily and they go on smoking between 5 or more than 10 years . The second group included (16) persons they didn’t take any kind of smoking (control group), whereas the average age of both groups were (38 years), for both groups were measured some blood criteria .In the current study the results refer significant increase below the probability level (P<0.01) in number of red blood cells (5.61±0.38), hemoglobin (15.42±1.19) and Hct (47.58±2.87 ) compared with control group )4.71±0.64, 13.06±1.25 and 39.85±3.94) , while smoking did not effect on the platelets (234.13±61.94 vs 237.28±81.30 ) , white blood cells (9.03±2.60 vs 8.44±1.82) and lymphocyte(2.47±0.80 vs 2.46±1.12) in both groups (P>0.05). It refers to the results there is significant increase (P<0.05) in the MCHC for group of cigarettes smokers compared with hookah smoker group (32.25±1.28 vs 31.06±1.07 ) , while number of white blood cells in hookah group were higher (11.70±3.96) (P<0.05) than group of cigarette smoker( 8.27±1.89) . Results also indicated that there is not significant differences (P>0.05) in the number of red blood cells, Hb , Hct and lymphocytes between two groups.
From this search we concluded the smoking had a clear effect on changing some examined blood criteria in the study. The study recommended more research of large teachers concerning genetic studies, to confirm the comprehensiveness of the result and their potential.
