The aim of our study was the evaluation of the effects of cigarette smoking on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in normotensive subjects participating to a cardiovascular prevention program. All subjects were followed up for an average time of 97±42 months to assess the event of hypertension development. Prevalence of hypertension development was higher in smokers even if regression logistic analysis was not able to predict hypertension development.
