PERBANDINGAN SATURASI OKSIGEN PEROKOK AKTIF DENGAN JENIS ROKOK TEMBAKAU DAN ELEKTRIK

Smoking is a high-risk behavior that may adversely affect the respiratory system and the body's oxygenation process. Both tobacco cigarettes and electronic cigarettes produce smoke or aerosol containing carbon monoxide (CO), which has an affinity for hemoglobin (Hb) approximately 240 times greater than that of oxygen (Os). This condition may interfere with the binding and release of oxygen to body tissues. Consequently, it may reduce the blood's capacity to transport oxygen and affect oxygen saturation (SpO.), defined as the percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen in the bloodstream. This study aimed to analyze the difference in oxygen saturation levels between tobacco smokers and electronic cigarette users. The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 respondents, including 30 tobacco smokers and 30 electronic cigarette users, selected using a quota sampling technique. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe respondents' characteristics and bivariate analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test because the data were not normally distributed. The results showed that the majority of respondents had oxygen saturation levels within the normal range. The mean SpO, value among tobacco smokers was 96.57%, while among electronic cigarette users it was 97.33%. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test indicated a p-value of 0.060 (p > 0.05), suggesting that there was no statistically significant difference in oxygen saturation levels between active tobacco smokers and electronic cigarette users. These findings indicate that both types of cigarettes may pose comparable potential health risks. Furthermore, the measurement of SpO2. alone may not directly reflect the physiological impact of smoking on the body's oxygenation process.
