Smokers are more at risk for respiratory infections

"Smokers are more at risk for respiratory infections.

Some aspects of coronavirus infection are now slowly becoming apparent to scientists. The exact cause of them is still unknown.One of these is: Coronavirus has the highest number of males. But what is the reason for smoking?

According to a survey in China, 2 out of every 100 men infected with coronavirus died. But in the case of women, one out of every 1 sufferer is dying to 5.7 percent - that's a lot less.

The same trend has been observed in Italy. Italy's health research agency says that 8 percent of the dead in quinidine are male. A theory is being given that smoking is a major factor behind this.

A large part of Chinese men are smokers.

The World Health Organization says those who smoke are more likely to be at risk for covalent nineteen infections.

The WHO says the fingers of the hand come in contact with the lips during a cigarette meal, and it increases the chances of the virus (in the cigarette) being exposed to the virus.


Smokers may have a lung disease before they become infected with coronavirus, or may have reduced lung function, which increases their chances of becoming seriously ill.

Many people who smoke in the hook or in the baby often use a hook or tube - which can easily spread covalent nineteen infections.

In addition, illnesses that cause a patient's body to require more oxygen, or decrease its ability to take oxygen - increase the risk of serious lung disease such as pneumonia in the human body.

Deborah Arnott, chief executive of Ash, a public health charity in the UK, says those who smoke should quit smoking or quit altogether to avoid the risk of coronavirus.


"Smokers are more at risk for respiratory infections. The risk of them suffering from pneumonia is twice as high as those who don't smoke."
