Tobacco has close association with blood pressure is a known fact. Tobacco can be consumed as both smoking and smokeless tobacco. However, the relationship between smoking and smokeless tobacco use on blood pressure remain unknown, especially in tertiary level hospitals. This book, a cross-sectional study, was carried out to assess blood pressure parameters among adult male smokers and smokeless tobacco users. Total 420 male respondents were selected and divided into Group A consisting of 120 were smokeless tobacco users and group B consisting of 300 smoker patients. Statistical analysis was done by unpaired t-test.The means (SD) of systolic blood pressure were 154.50(26.79) mm of Hg in Group A and 151.67(19.24) mm of Hg in group B, respectively. There were no statistical significant differences (P>0.05) of systolic blood pressure between the Groups. The means (SD) of diastolic blood pressure were 96.67(SD 10.93) mm of Hg in Group A and 86.47(SD 14.74) mm of Hg in group B, respectively, and were significantly high(P<0.05) in Group A than Group B. This book would unlock further frontiers for prospective researchers in this arena.
