The current study was conducted with the aim of knowing the effect of hookah smoking on some blood and biochemical parameters in the blood serum of some men in Diwaniyah governorate, where the study was conducted in the laboratories of Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital for the period from 1/2/2020 until 1/4/2020. Of men whose average age was between (30-35) years, and they were divided into two groups: - The first group (control) 10 people who did not use any kind of smoking. - The second group, 30 people, who smoked hookah. And after completing sample collection, general regulations (WBC, RBC, Hb, PCV) and biochemical standards (cholesterol, glycerides, and proteins)The results showed regarding the hematological parameters that hookah smoking led to a significant increase in the number of white blood cells, hemoglobin concentration and the volume of packed cells, while there was no noticeable difference in the numbers of red blood cells. As for the biochemical parameters of blood, there was a significant increase in The concentration of total cholesterol and triglycerides when compared with the control group. As for the low LDL and very low VLDL lipoproteins, there was a significant increase when compared with the control group, while there was a non-significant decrease in the level of HDL high-density lipoproteins when compared with the control. In blood pressure and a decrease in body weight in smokers when compared with non-smokers.
