These
are divided into two the T and B -
lymphocytes subsets in peripheral blood. A study has shown that there is a n increased in the number of T – lymphocytes (saetta et al, 1998)
while another suggested that laymphocytes showed marked
significance in the study
this was based on the number of cigarette taken per day. A report also showed that there was a significant increase
on the frequencies of micronuclei
on peripheral blood lymphocytes from smokers
(wen-sheng and
you-quin, 1992). A report recorded high significant level which was found only
in men (dodsworth et al, 1981)
but it was also recorded that there is a
statistically significant
(p<0.05) increase in the numbe of
blood on activated lymphocytes (apibal,
2000) in
a study carried out on
smokers
