| Abstract: The effect of different doses of smoking on the some trace elements (Se, Zn, Pb, Cu) and cortisol hormone concentration have been studied. Four groups of smokers were used in this study to investigate the effect of smoking in trace element and cortisol hormone concentration in smokers and compare the finding with nonsmokers group (control group). Mean values of cortisol hormone concentration in group I (consumed 10- 20 cigar per day with 0.4mg nicotine/cigar) were found to be significantly higher (p 0.01) in comparison with the value of control group and high significantly higher (p 0.001) in group II who consumed 10-20 cigar per day with 0.8 mg nicotine/cigar, and high significantly higher (p 0.001) in group | ||
