Background: Cigarette smoking is awell-known significant contributor to the development of many illnesses that having an inflammatory component.Smoking has both acute and chronic effects on haematological parameters.Objective: assess impact cigarette complete blood count (CBC) indices some markers erythrocytic sedemitation rate (ESR) C-reactive protein(CRP).Methodology: this case-control study was conducted 30 healthy active smokers passive age sexmatched non-smokers subjects.Data regarding age, sex, index, duration were recorded.CBC, differential leucocytic count, platelets/lymphocytes ratio (PLR), neutrophils/lymphocytes (NLR), CRP ESR measured.Results: A statistically differences identified between groups CBC parameters except for neutrophil %.ESR had no difference.Statistically, have been group control all e.g PLR, NLR, CRP, while statistical difference monocyte % ESR, which difference. Conclusion:Passive affects hematological as well smoking.Accordingy, it important keep in mind either or one diagnoses change indices.
