Abstract

Background: Despite the fact that many surveys have been carried out on adverse effects of tobacco and diseases attributable to smoking, only a few studies have studies have described the effects of tobacco dust in TOBACCO-INDUSTRY WORKERs.Materials and Methods: A total of 487 nonsmoking factory workers were randomly selected form different sections of the factory for this cross-sectional study. Having completed the questionnaire, they underwent spirometry and other examinations including DLCO, TLC, chest X-ray, and CT scan.Results: Five cased developed COPD (1.27%) of whom 4 (0.96%) were working in cigarette fabricating section. Of 8 patients with asthma (1.92%), 3 (0.72%) worked in an area where cigarettes were fabricated. Restrictive disorders were reported in 6 workers (1.42%) of whom 2 were in the sorting-blending and fabricating sections (0.48%) and 1 in tobacco packaging (0.24%) section.Conclusion: The results implied high prevalence of obstructive disorders in the workers of cigarette fabricating section.
