The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the length and quantity of cigarette consumption towards cytological cell changes of the cheek mucosa. This study involved 100 persons. They were divided into two groups, each of which consisted of 50 smokers and non-smokers as a control group. All subjects were scraped both left and right cheek mucosa. The scrapings was smeared on an object glass and immediately fixed by spraying 95% of alcohol and then dried. The result were coloured using Papanicolaou method and observed microscopically. Observations and measurements were done by Nikon light microscope with 40 times magnification, which was equipped with an ocular micrometer. The measurement was done towards 100 blue cells randomly on every preparations, and its average was then determined. Two hundred preparations were observed so that all measurements comprised 20:000 blue cells. For the cornification, the percentage of blue cells was counted, as was also done for the pink cells and orange cells. One-way covariance analysis was used to analyze the cytologic pattern differences between smokers and non-smokers, and also to find out the influence of the length and quantity of smoking towards changes in the cytologic patterns. The results showed that there was a highly cytologically significant difference between smokers and non-smokers for almost all of the cheek mucosa (P
