Stress brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic may be tempting some to turn to smoking as a way to cope, but health professionals are warning against this. New studies are showing that longtime smokers that contract coronavirus have been known to suffer from more severe side effects than those who do not smoke. In fact, health officials say kicking the habit is especially important now, according to Today.
When the coronavirus began to make its way throughout the nation in March, health officials still had a lot to learn about how it would affect different types of people. They suspected that smokers would face an increased risk of contracting the virus, but there was limited research proving that then. Now that many people have become ill and been treated, health officials know more information regarding why smokers can face an increased risk.
