• [3] Prothrombotic effects of smoking are well documented such as increased circulating levels of fibrinogen, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and platelet aggregation. [...]the adverse prognostic effects of smoking may not only increase risk of developing atherosclerosis but also risk of occlusive thrombosis and myocardial infarction. [...]the aim and objectives of our present study was to identify the early prothrombotic activity the form of platelet aggregability, BP, and HR in male smokers, and thereby prevent from further damage. [...]cohort studies are needed in future to further understand the chronic effect of smoking. [...]there is an urgent need to sensitize smokers in the society about its ill-effects on health and prevents the morbidity and mortality.
