ABSTRACT
Cigarette smoke consists of a mix of chemical substances in the form of gases and dispersed particles. Recently, more than 4000 compounds presented in cigarette smoke have been isolated. Most of these compounds are toxic to our body's cells. Toxic gases including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), nitrogen oxides, and volatile chemicals such as nitrosamines, formaldehyde are found in in cigarette smoke. besides toxic compounds, cigarette smoke also containsfree radicalsinduding peroxynitrite, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide. These free radicals may accelerate cellular damage due to oxidative stress. Targets offree radical attacks include DNA, protein and lipids. The harmful chemicals inform ofgases and volatile substances in cigarettes cause multiple genetic mutations. The combination of genetic mutations and DNA damage lead to genetic instability and it may cause cancer. Oxidative DNA damage caused by cigarette smoke can be identified with the presence of 8-oxoguanosine used as one of the biomarkers for oxidative DNA damage. Increased concentration of 8-oxoguanosine in DNA has an important role in carcinogenesis and triggers tumor cells. Both active and passive smokers have been reported to have an elevated concentration of 8-oxoguanosine in their lung tissue and peripheral leukocytes as well as for passive smokers. This paper provide informations and understanding of the effects of smoking on the genetic stability, especially in the DNA molecule.

Keywords : 8-oxoguanosine, DNA damage, free radicals, mutations, oxidative stress
