Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention group will sub-divided into two groups that is smokers group and non-smokers group. The smokers group include 25 smoker volunteers and non-smokers group include 25 non-smoker volunteers .These groups take Zinc Gluconate 50mg once daily for 8 weeks by oral route. Adherence to the intervention check by weekly follow-up and drug tablet pack return strategy

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Around 75 subjects will be recruited as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Baseline data of clinical and laboratory values shall be assessed and recorded.
Subjects recruited will in two main groups; Control group includes 25 healthy non-smokers volunteers and intervention group consist of two sub-groups. Group A (smokers group) include 25 volunteers and will be given zinc gluconate 50mg once daily for 8 weeks while Group B (non-smokers group) include 25 volunteers and will receive the will be given zinc gluconate 50mg once daily for 8 weeks.
The subjects of each group shall be assessed for final data collection of laboratory and clinical values after 8 weeks of the intervention. Before taking final data, the subjects shall be assessed for adherence of treatment or intervention through self-made medication adherence questionnaire. The subject scoring more than 70% percent adherence shall be considered admissible for the final data acquisition and analysis. The data acquired shall be subjected to statistical testing for possible difference and significant observations.
The data of recruited patients shall be assessed and be presented in frequencies and percentages for the socio-demographic data.
After the data collection of post-intervention, the statistics tools t-test will be used for the assessment of differences in primary and secondary outcomes. For the comparison of lipid profile and uric acid levels in smokers and non-smokers group.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is
1)To observe the effects of zinc supplements on lipid profile
2)To estimate the role of zinc in adjusting lipid profile and uric acid level in smokers and non-smokers
3)To evaluate the effect of zinc on cognition in smokers and non-smokers
it is the open labelled non-randomized trial in which two groups of 60 participants will included one control group will be include 10 healthy non-smoker volunteers and other group interventional group consist of n= 50 participants which will divided into two sub-groups smokers group and non-smokers group and the other group non-smokers group. each sub-group consist of n=25 participants
control group on their daily food and liquid intake with excercise with no zinc supplement treatment while in interventional group
both sub-groups will taken 50mg of zinc gluconate once daily for 8 weeks. the primary outcomes like as lipid profile(TC,TG, LDL, HDL) and serum uric acid and secondary outcome questionnaire will be analyzed at zero day or as pre-test values and after 8 weeks again taken primary outcomes as post-test values.
after that the data will be analyzed by SPSS for difference and comparative analysis through t-test
