Serious consequences cause by mineral disturbances that occur in cigarette smoking. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess serum iron level among Sudanese cigarette smoker. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study Fifty males smokers as cases and fifty male non smokers as controls (age matched between two groups) .Serum ion was measured by spectrophotometer . The data was then analyzed by using SPSS version 16. Results: The results showed insignificant different in the level of serum iron in smokers compared to non smokers, (P .Value=0.301). There was insignificant different in serum iron among different ages group (P .Value=0.766). There was insignificant difference between the mean of serum iron in smokers who smoked < 5 cigarette per day compared to those who smoked >15 cigarette per day (P .Value= 0.772), also there was insignificant difference between the mean of serum iron in smokers and duration of smoking (P. value=0.159). Conclusion: There was no different in serum ion level in smokers subjects compared to non smokers.
