Tobacco use in the times of COVID 19 is very harmful and it is the ideal time to quit tobacco. People who smoke have a higher risk of getting COVID-19 compared to people who do not smoke.
Smokers Have A Higher Risk Of Getting Covid-19

Since the new coronavirus is a respiratory infection, it puts people with heart diseases at greater risk. Make sure to notice any unusual signs and symptoms and get checked immediately in case they prolong. Those with heart diseases must constantly monitor themselves at home regularly.

There have been reports that in addition to the respiratory issues known to occur in patients with COVID-19, many infected patients have also developed heart problems that subsequently led to cardiac arrest. Based on data from numerous affected countries, such as Italy, China, England, USA cardiac experts have started to believe that the virus can infect the heart muscle, with as many as 1 in 5 patients experiencing heart damage leading to heart failure and death, even in patients who show no signs of respiratory impairment.

Health Experts demand ban tobacco use:

Health experts from the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (the Union) have recently asked the international community to ban the use of tobacco. Studies have shown that smokers are at higher risk of COVID-19. There is overwhelming evidence that people who smoke are at higher risk of getting lung and chest infections, which can be caused by other respiratory viruses (such as influenza) and also bacteria (for instance, tuberculosis.) This means that it is more likely that people who smoke have a higher risk of getting COVID-19 compared to people who don’t smoke.

The emerging evidence has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicating that infected smokers, both past and present, comprised more than 25% of patients who needed mechanical ventilation, were admitted to an intensive care unit, or died.

Smoking also affects the immune system:
