Patient age changed between 16 and 52 and the mean age was 27.20±6.74. When cigarette usage was evaluated, it was determined that 52.82% of patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=220); were non-smokers, 13.8% of patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=52); smoke less than 10 cigarettes per day and 28.0% of patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=106); smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day.
