As a control group.


The results of the current study showed clear variations in the numbers, values, and concentrations of these variables studied under the current study. , Blood pressure among those who smoked this type of smoking increased by (52.64%)., Hemoglobin concentration also showed an increase by (5, 3, 5, and 5%), respectively. According to the types of flavors, the percentage of increase in hemoglobin concentration and the number of the three compounds was (7, 10, and 11%) , As for the volume of the packed cells volume, it also showed an increase, at rates of (12, 10, 11, and 12%), respectively, and according to the types of the four flavors, while the percentages of increase were According to the number of flavors (14, 17, and 18%), while the number of red blood cells showed a clear increase in the blood of these smokers according to the type of flavor and the number of flavors, the highest percentage of increase in the flavor of the mixture was (30%), and its highest percentage was in the number of flavors (more than 7) It is (28%) compared to the control group.
