In the present study it was found that
greater the smoking load greater reduction in BMI also
higher smoking load lead to reduced systolic blood
pressure and hence reduced pulse pressure. Our
findings on blood pressure contradict the findings of
certain studies which show that hypertension results
due to smoking.
Hence it was concluded that higher nicotine
consumption caused significant reduction of BMI and
SBP but the effects of minor alkaloids in cigarette
smoking is still unknown.
