The researchers determined that far fewer smokers appear to have contracted the virus or, if they have, their symptoms are less serious." The study examined 480 coronavirus patients. Background. The harms of tobacco use are well-established. Tobacco causes 8 million deaths every year from cardiovascular diseases, lung disorders, cancers, diabetes, and hypertension.1 Smoking tobacco is also a known risk factor for severe disease and death from many respiratory infections.2-4 In the COVID-19 pandemic, questions have been asked about clinical outcomes for smokers, and whether ... Smokers face a greater risk of suffering severe complications from the coronavirus, according to research. The paper suggested that smoking might make people less susceptible to getting coronavirus. The authors of this study said: ‘current smokers have a very much lower probability of developing symptomatic or severe SARS-CoV-2 infection [the virus that causes Covid-19] as compared to the general population.’. There is little evidence to suggest the smoke itself could be carrying the coronavirus, but researchers and physicians say that merely being able to smell someone’s cigarette is a warning sign ... However, tobacco smokers (cigarettes, waterpipes, bidis, cigars, heated tobacco products) may be more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19, as the act of smoking involves contact of fingers (and possibly contaminated cigarettes) with the lips, which increases the possibility of transmission of viruses from hand to mouth. The coutries with many smokers, also have fewer people who are alive, to become infected by the coronavirus. The "previous smokers" are already dead. SO THERE! Tom Og Skeptic. 0 0. Reply. While the finding seems counterintuitive given coronavirus is a respiratory disease, another study from China found smokers were 14 times more likely to develop serious complications, so there is... On the other hand, other studies show that nicotine enhances the action of the ACE-2 receptor, which in theory, puts smokers at a higher risk of contracting the coronavirus. An array of research carried out since the pandemic began has shown smokers are at lower risk of getting the coronavirus.
