Figures & data

Table 1 Characteristic of all smokers in four groups.

Figure 1 Cigarette yields per day of light (right) and self-rolling (left) types between pre- and post-intervention periods in each groups, control, VC, exercise with VC, and exercise. Each point represents the mean of cigarette yield per day. The percentage at post-intervention was compared to the pre-intervention.

Figure 2 The levels of MDA (left) and protein hydroperoxide (PrOOH) (right) between pre- and post-intervention periods in each group, control, VC, exercise with VC, and exercise only. Each point represented the mean and standard deviation and significant level at p < 0.05 (#) and p < 0.01 (##).

Figure 3 The levels of nitrite (left) and Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (right) between pre- and post-intervention periods in each group, control, VC, exercise with VC, and exercise only. Each point represented the mean and standard deviation and significant level at p < 0.05 (#) and p < 0.01 (##).

Figure 4 The exhale carbon monoxide (CO) between pre- (oblique line) and post-(no line) intervention periods in each group, control, VC, exercise with VC, and exercise only. Each bar represented the mean and standard deviation, and significant level at p < 0.05 (#).

Figure 5 The beta-endorphin levels between pre- (oblique line) and post-(no line) intervention periods in each group, control, VC, exercise with VC, and exercise only. Each bar represented the mean and standard deviation, and significant level at p < 0.05 (#) and p < 0.001 (# #).
