Abstract

Smoking is one of the risk factors for various heart diseases, hypertension, inflammation, stroke, blood clotting disorders, and respiratory diseases. Smoking also accelerates the pathogenesis of various malignancies, such as lung, pancreatic, breast, liver and kidney malignancies. E-cigarettes (vapour cigarettes) are a form of NRT that uses electricity from battery power to deliver nicotine in vapor form and is referred to by WHO as an electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS). Smokers generally have a higher hematocrit than non-smokers, due to the large number of chemical substances in cigarettes. The increase in red blood cell mass is explained as a response to tissues that lack oxygen supply as a result of exposure to one of the chemicals contained in cigarettes, namely Carbon Monoxide (CO). This study aims to determine the description of the Hematocrit value in electric smokers. The design of this research is descriptive. The sample in this study were ecigarette smokers in the e-cigarette community in Sragen City with a total of 28 samples. Samples were taken using quota sampling technique. The variable in this study was the Hematocrit value for electric smokers using the microhematocrit method. Based on this study, it is known that 28 respondents found 25 respondents had normal hematocrit values and 3 respondents had hematocrit values more than normal. The conclusion of this study is that some of the respondents who smoked using e-cigarettes in the e-cigarette community had a Hematocrit value more than normal.
