Smoking may increase risk of Covid-19 severity, death: Study
As per a study, smoking is highly likely to increase the severity of Covid-19 and the risk of dying from the viral infection.
“Our results strongly suggest that smoking is related to your risk of getting severe Covid, and just as smoking affects the risk of heart disease, different cancers, and all those other conditions we know smoking is linked to, it appears that it’s the same for Covid,” said lead researcher Ashley Clift.
“So now might be as good a time as any to quit cigarettes and quit smoking,” said Clift, from the University of Oxford in the UK.
