Radon is the biggest contributor to natural and radiation in the environment and causes long-term health concern. The link between tobacco, cigarette smoke and cancer has long been established. Smokers are ten times at greater risk of developing lung cancer than that of non smokers. In this work, the radioactive radon concentrations of some cheroot samples in Myanmar were measured using SSNTDs technique and long term measurements were carried out for period of 100 days. According to the detection of alpha tracks, alpha track density and radon concentrations were carried out. And then annual effective dose of radiation in the corresponding samples were calculated.
