Abstract

Chewing tobacco (locally known as (Toombak) is widely used in Sudan, particularly in the Northern State. This case-control study aims to evaluate its impact on hematological parameters (WBCs, RBCs, Hb, and Platelets) among adult males. A total of 100 participants (50 users and 50 non-users) were included. Blood samples were analyzed using CBC analyzers, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS. Although minor trends were observed—such as lower WBC levels among users—the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The study highlights the need for larger-scale research and more controlled variables to understand the systemic impact of chewing tobacco. These findings may inform public health strategies addressing the hematological risks of smokeless tobacco use.
