Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in developing countries. Study was carried out in 400 males to evaluate&compare the cardio vascular disease risk factors in smokers&smokeless tobacco users- tobacco chewers&kharra chewers. Tobacco users had significantly higher cardiovascular disease risk factors- C reactive protein&lipid profile (except HDL) than non users. The C reactive protein&lipid profile differences between smokers&tobacco chewers were found to be non significant while kharra chewers had significantly lower values than smokers&tobacco chewers. The deleterious cardiovascular risk factors are considerably less in kharra chewers than cigarette smokers&tobacco chewers. Excessive risk in tobacco users than non users gives cause for preventive action.

Abstract


Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in developing countries. Study was carried out in 400 males to evaluate&compare the cardio vascular disease risk factors in smokers&smokeless tobacco users- tobacco chewers&kharra chewers. Tobacco users had significantly higher cardiovascular disease risk factors- C reactive protein&lipid profile (except HDL) than non users. The C reactive protein&lipid profile differences between smokers&tobacco chewers were found to be non significant while kharra chewers had significantly lower values than smokers&tobacco chewers. The deleterious cardiovascular risk factors are considerably less in kharra chewers than cigarette smokers&tobacco chewers. Excessive risk in tobacco users than non users gives cause for preventive action.
