Keywords:

Smoking is a condition in which a material is burned and the resulting smoke inhaled in to be tasted and absorbed into the circulation. Smoking and its complications are prevalent throughout the world but are most common in the Asia continent. The greatest rise in prevalence is, however, happening in middle and low-income countries including in Africa and Asia. Objective: To assess the prevalence of smoking and its complication among people in Iraq.
Materials and Methods This is a randomized prospective clinical study, carried out in Al-Hakeem Hospital, Al-Sadr Medical city, and the Emergency Department. This study started in January 2021 and lasts for 4 months, was approved by the medical ethical community at the University of Kufa. The data was collected from the patient based on specific questionnaires. A sample of 60 cases in Al-Najaf governorate was chosen randomly from varying places where interview according to specialize questionnaire that included: age, sex, cigarette smoking per day, duration of smoking, complications that occur due to smoking. Results The prevalence of smoking complications was within the range of that reported in Iraq. A significant difference was founded between some smoking complications.
