Effects of Smoking Cessation Therapies on the Mean Platelet Volume Iclal Hocanli1, Abdurrahman Abakay1, Abdullah Cetin Tanrikulu1, Hadice Selimoglu Sen1, Yilmaz Palanci2, Ozlem Abakay1 ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of smoking on mean platelet volume (MPV) in different age groups. Methods: This study included a total of 150 patients (105 men and 45 women). Demographic data and other laboratory data were recorded for each patient. Patients were divided into two groups based on their smoking cessation status as follows: Those who quit smoking (n = 72) and those who continued to smoke (n = 78). Results: At the end of the study, 50.4% (n = 53) of the 105 male patients and 42.2% (n = 19) of the 45 female patients quitted smoking. Of those who quit, 73.6% (n = 53) were male and 26.4% (n = 19) were female. The mean age of the patients who did not quit smoking was 34.9 ± 10.1 years, and 35.8 ± 10.1 years in quitter group. Mean annual cigarette consumption was 18 packs/year in not-quitted group, and 17 packs/year in stop smoking group. The pre- and posttreatment MPV values were 7.2 ± 1.0 fl and 7.3 ± 1.2 fl in non-quitting group (p>0.05), while 7.5 ± 1.0 fl and 7.2 ± 1.0 fl in quitted group (p0.05); sigarayı bırakan grupta ise 7,5 ± 1,0 fl ve 7,2 ± 1,0 fl olarak saptandı (p 0.05, while variables that had P
