Background. Cigarette smoking is a major public health problem, which leads to the formation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is one of the main causes of avoidable death and disability worldwide. Objective. The aim of study was analysis and comparison of the visceral fat in the body of the three groups of subjects (non-smokers, smokers and COPD patients) by Tanita Viscan 140. Material and Methods. The control group was composed of: (1) non-smokers (n=30), consisted of 13 males (43.4%) and 17 women (56.6%) - the average age was 52 ± 6.51 years and (2) smokers (n=30), consisted of 12 men (40%) and 18 women (60%) – the average age 46.53 ± 9.22 years. Study group consisted of patients with COPD (n=60), which consisted of 48 men (80%) and 12 women (20%). Mean age was 69.25 ± 9.90 years. The measurement of visceral fat by Tanita Viscan device 140, which uses bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure fat in the abdomen of the patient in the supine position. Results. High levels of visceral fat (women from 36.9% to 52.3% and more, men from 27.1% to 40.3% or more) were observed in 19 patients (3 women and 16 men), with 19 smokers (10 women and 9 men) and non-smokers in 22 subjects (10 women and 12 men). The average value of waist circumference measured with a Tanita Viscan 140 was in the group of patients 96.38 ± 12.27 cm, in the group of smokers 95.23 ± 10.12 cm and in group of non-smokers 96.86 ± 10.88 cm. Conclusions. The results of our work are of great importance for the health assessment not only among patients with COPD but also in the group of smokers. Therefore it would be appropriate to remind the general public, eg. by campaign for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its serious complications and reduce the life quality of these patients and thus help protect human health and in particular young people from the harmful effects of tobacco products.

Background. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are small battery-powered electronic devices, heating the liquid to produce vapour – in most cases the latter contains nicotine and several flavourings. E-cigarettes are highly advertised across the media, mainly as healthy substitute to conventional cigarettes, aid in quitting smoking addiction or way of circumventing ban on smoking in public places. Objective. The aim of study was obtaining epidemiological data on cigarette smoking and electronic cigarette usage among Polish universities students. Material and methods. Students of different Polish state universities were asked to fill a self-prepared survey on cigarettesmoking and electronic cigarette usage. 1068 fulfilled questionnaires were gathered. The population was divided into two subgroups – medical universities’ students (n=545) and non-medical universities students (n=523). Results. 23.78% of respondents declared current smoking while 57.0% admitted ever smoking. The mean duration of smoking among current smokers was 4.17 ± 2.53 years. 56.30% of current smokers tried quitting at least once. 31.46% of students declared ever using e-cigarettes (37.28% (n=195) among non-medical universities’ students and 25.87% (n=141) among medical universities’ students and 8.33% current usage. Among the latter 52.81% admitted simultaneous smoking. 26.97% of current e-cigarettes’ users declared having experienced side effects of e-cigarettes. 42.70% (n=456) of respondents viewed e-cigarettes as safer than conventional cigarettes, this group comprises of 40.54% (n=212) non-medical and 44.77% (n=244) medical universities’ students. 85.39% (n=912) of students viewed e-cigarettes as generally unhealthy, there were 83.56% (n=437) non-medical and 87.16% (n=475) medical universities’ students among this group. Conclusions. The frequency of e-cigarettes usage resembles current status in many Western countries. Collected data shows high frequency of e-cigarettes usage and conventional cigarettes smoking among students (also medical universities’ students). The situation requires intensive preventive measures to limit and reduce the popularity of tobacco products along with modern equivalents like electronic cigarettes.

The aim of this study has been to determine the effects of hypertension on plasma lipid profile and the serum level of antioxidant vitamins in tobacco smokers. The study population comprised 62 smokers of whom 35 had hypertension (study group) and 27 were normotensive (control group). The levels of plasma lipids, albumins, uric acid, thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) and vitamins A, E, C and ß-carotene were assayed. Cumulated index of antioxidant vitamins (CIAVIT) was also calculated. Total cholesterol (TC) (pO.OOl), LDL cholesterol (pO.OOl), uric acid (p<0.05), TBARS (p<0.05) and triglycerides levels were higher in hypertensive smokers compared to the control group. Hypertensive smokers also had lower HDL cholesterol and vitamin E levels (pO.Ol), as well as the levels of vitamins A, C and ß-carotene and the CIAVIT value. The study group exhibited negative correlation between TBARS and vitamins E levels (r=-0.46) and C (r=-0.33), and between TBARS and CIAVIT values (r=-0.34). The study results indicate that tobacco smoking exacerbates pre-existing lipid profile and antioxidant status abnormalities in hypertensive subjects.

Zawartość Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni i As we włosach łonowych mężczyzn niepalących oraz wypalających 5, 20 i 40 papierosów dziennie oznaczono metodą AAS po mineralizacji mikrofalowej z użyciem kwasu azotowego. Włosy łonowe mężczyzn palących zawierały większe ilości analizowanych metali, choć różnica w zawartości nie była istotna statystycznie. We włosach łonowych mężczyzn palących papierosy obserwowano także występowanie większej ilości znaczących korelacji między metalami, które są obecne w papierosach oraz zmianę proporcji między zawartością badanych pierwiastków toksycznych i pierwiastków niezbędnych (Ca, K, Mg, Fe i Zn).
