Smoking destroys the vascular system, increases plaque deposits in atherosclerosis, and increases inflammation. The present study was performed to determine the effect of smoking on the levels of low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein in smokers. A cross-control study was carried out in the outpatient clinic in Baghdad, Iraq. The study was carried out 60 by individuals from February 2021 to July 2021. Participants in this study included adult smokers and non-smokers of both genders, and the levels of LDL and VLDL were determined using an Automatic Chemistry Analyze. The results revealed that the total number of smokers was 60 individuals from both genders; there was a significant difference in mean low-density lipoprotein and very low-density lipoprotein levels. There is a significant difference in LDL Values between non-smokers and smokers (129.853±7.880; P<0.05). Non-smokers showed lower LDL values (104.460±7.950; P<0.05). Regarding VLDL values, results revealed that smokers were showing higher values than a non-smoker (49.641±4.02), (28.986±1.676) respectively, P<0.05). LDL and VLDL levels are more prevalent in current cigarette smokers than in non-smokers. Heavy smokers have higher LDL and VLDL values for a cigarette than non-smokers, which is consistent with observations in other populations.
