Methodology: 100 blood samples were collected into heparinized containers (3 ml) from smoker's cigarettes (50) and nonsmoker (50) as control group. Plasma was separated by centrifugation and plasma uric acid levels were estimated by enzymatic method using spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed statistically by Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. Results: mean of plasma uric acid levels was 5.452 for non smoker, 5.060 for smoker and p value < 0.044 for significant for smoker and non smoker. Conclusion: The study concluded that the level of uric acid in plasma was lower in smokers compared to non-smokers.
