ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on lipid profile and throat in male population smoker of Mirpur AJK.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Community Medicine, Biochemistry and ENT of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Medical College Mirpur AJK from January 2018 to September 2019.

Those smokers who were reported in other disease such as hepatic diseases, diabetes and hypertension were excluded. We take for study 200 chronic smoker and 100 non –smoker. This study was conducted in the department community medicine, Biochemistry Department and ENT of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Medical College Mirpur AJk. We take blood samples from both groups chronic smoker and non-smoker and analyzed the samples on Micro lab 300 for serum lipid profile. (Cholestol, HDL, LDL, VLDL and Triglyceride). For the study we use kits made of Merck Pvt. We also done other biochemistry test and hematological test and throat were clinically investigated and observation was recorded. Smoking history and medical history are obtained from both groups such as smoker and non-smoker.

Total cholesterol (253.5 ± 11.8) mgdl, LDL (126.9 ± 22.5) mgdl, and Triglyceride (198.2 ± 31.5) mgdl, in smoker are higher as compare to non-smoker. While HDL (39.77± 8.5) mgdl, is decreased in smoker as compare to non-smoker.
