Cigarette smoking impacts immunological markers, with distinct differences observed in immunoglobulin E (IgE), alpha 1 PI, and ceruloplasmin levels among smokers, ex-smokers, and non-smokers.

Abstract:
Non-specific immunological parameters were analysed in dependence of cigarette smoking. Although the serum protein levels were in the normal range, it was remarkable to find some differences between non-smokers, ex-smokers and (heavy) smokers. These differences are especially distinct in the mean levels of IgE, alpha 1 PI and ceruloplasmin.
