Methods In this self-controlled experimental study, we included individuals who applied to a smoking cessation clinic and quit smoking. Their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the amount of cigarettes consumed (pack/year), their Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) results, haemogram values before and 6 months after quitting smoking, NLR, PLR, MPVLR, MHR and blood lipid levels before and after the treatment were compared retrospectively. Results The mean (SD) age of the 239 individuals who participated in the study was 41.7 (10.9) years and 55.2% of them were women. Their mean FTND score was 7.06 (2.0), and most of them (47.7%) had a very high level of addiction. After the smoking cessation treatment, their neutrophil, platelet, MPV, red cell distribution width, platelet distribution width (PDW), cholesterol, triglyceride, low- density lipoprotein, NLR, PLR, MPVLR, MHR and HDL values increased (p<0.05). The amount of smoking and level of dependence were negatively correlated with HDL, and positively correlated with other parameters. Conclusion After smoking cessation, in addition to dyslipidaemia, the NLR, PLR, MPVLR and MHR values also decreased, and the difference was found to correlate with the level of addiction and the amount of smoking.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdultBlood PlateletsCholesterol, HDLFemaleHumansLymphocytesMaleMean Platelet VolumeMiddle AgedMonocytesNeutrophilsRetrospective StudiesSmokingSmoking Cessationhigh density lipoprotein cholesteroladultbloodepidemiologyfemalehumanlymphocytemalemean platelet volumemiddle agedmonocyteneutrophilretrospective studysmokingsmoking cessationthrombocyteArticle10.25259/NMJI_988_202-s2.0-85200528932228438692637N/A22436
