There is overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and other serious diseases in smokers. In the Total Exposure Study, 29 biomarkers of potential harm (BOPH) were measured in a cross-sectional sample of 3,585 adult smokers (AS) and 1,077 nonsmokers (NS). The BOPH included markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, platelet activation, endothelial function, lipid metabolism, hematology, metabolism, the cardiovascular system, lung function, kidney function, and liver function. Multiple stepwise regression was used to examine the effect of demographic factors (age, gender, body mass index [BMI], and race) and smoking (number of cigarettes smoked per day or nicotine equivalents [NE] per 24 hr and smoking duration) on each BOPH. As compared with NS, AS had > 10% higher levels of 8-epi-prostaglandin F-2 alpha (8-epi-PG F-2 alpha, 42%), 11-dehydrothromboxane B-2 (11-DHTB, 29%), white blood cell (WBC) count (19%), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (15%), triglycerides (16%), and alkaline phosphatase (11%) and had 18% lower total bilirubin. Multiple stepwise regression revealed that although NE (milligrams per 24 hours) was statistically significant for 18 of the 29 BOPH, it was the most important factor only for WBCs and 11-DHTB. Smoking duration was the most important factor for forced expiratory volume in 1 second. In contrast, BMI was the most important factor for 12 BOPH. These results contribute to the understanding of the relationship between tobacco smoking and potential biological effects.
