Introduction: Smoking remains the number one cause of preventable morbidity and mortality. A leading cause of death attributable to smoking is Cardiovascular disease (CVD). Most common presentation of Coronary artery disease (CAD) is myocardial infarction and angina pectorals. Cigarette smoking also contributes to CVD in a number of ways. Materials and Methods: A Case Control Study was conducted in Tertiary care teaching center and Hospital over a period of 6 months. Patients admitted in the Medical ward who are willing to participate in this study were enrolled in this study. Results: In our study, both the groups consisted of 100 subjects each. While comparing between Smoker and non-smoker mean age was not statistically significant by using unpaired t-test (p-value 0.36). While comparing between Smoker and non-smoker group in hypertensive was statistically significant difference by using Chi-square test (p=0.025). While comparing between Smoker and non-smoker group, with more than 50% stenosis, with or without co-morbidities. While comparing between Smoker and non-smoker group in co-morbidities was statistically highly significant difference by using Chi-square test (p=0.0001). Whereas, comparing between Smoker and non-smoker group in without co-morbidities was statistically highly significant difference by using Chi-square test (p=0.0001). Conclusion: In our study that both the case and control groups shows in both group smokers and non-smokers have CAD but higher in smokers group then in non-smokers and data was statistically insignificant between case and control group.
