On tobacco use during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19
05/27/2020
According to available data, in smokers, COVID-19 disease often proceeds in severe form. Smoking worsens lung function, and it is more difficult for the smoker's body to fight the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus.
Tobacco use increases the risk of contracting the virus by mouth - when smoking cigarettes or using other tobacco products. In case of infection, smokers are at higher risk of a severe illness, as their lungs are already damaged.
Rospotrebnadzor calls on citizens to protect their health from the devastating consequences of tobacco use and to implement the recommendations of doctors in the context of measures taken to combat COVID-19.
