Abstract

   The current study investigated the effect of electronic cigarette use on measuring some variables the biochemicals and electrolytes in the serum of people taking it were measured by measuring these variables, which included (glucose, urea, sodium, chloride, potassium) and were compared with a group of healthy, non-


smoking people as a control group.   The results of the current study showed different changes in the concentrations of these studied variables with nicotine levels and years of smoking. An increase or decrease in the concentrations of these variables is observed with increasing levels of nicotine and years of smoking.
