N2  - Smoking is not only a risk factor for tuberculosis  (TB) but can also increases the gravity of clinical  course. In our study we examined the effects of  smoking on pulmonary TB patients in terms of  initial smear positivity, radiological presentations,  smear conversion on follow~up, efect on treatment  periods.  Patients (n=226) were separated into 2 groups  as Group I smokers (n=145, F/M: 22/123, mean  age: 40 ± 13) and Group II non-smokers (n=81,  F/M: 24/57, mean age: 36 ± 15).  We determined the ratios of the patients diagnosed  by smear positivity as 92.7% in Group I and  77.8% in Group II. We did not obtain any  significant difference between the groups in  terms of the radiological presentation and the  existence of cavity on chest X-Ray (p>0.05).  When the groups are compared in terms of the  smear positivity in diagnosis; we found a  significantly higher positivity in the smoker  group (p= 0.001).  As a result, initial conclusions of our study  which is still continuing, bacterial discharge was found significantly higher in the smoker group  and this is important for TB contagiousness.  Because of this, the coexistence of TB and  smoking has more risk for health care instead of  each one separately. We think smoking cessation  programs also may help TB control.
