Smoking and COVID
Research Study

2. SMOKING Smoking is a practice in which a
substance is burned and the
resulting smoke is breathed in to be
tasted and absorbed into the
bloodstream.
Most commonly, the substance
used is the dried leaves of the
tobacco plant, which have been
rolled into a small rectangle of
rolling paper to create a small,
round cylinder called a "cigarette".

3. The harms of tobacco use are well-
established. Tobacco causes 8
million deaths every year from
cardiovascular diseases, lung
disorders, cancers, diabetes, and
hypertension.
Smoking tobacco is also a known
risk factor for severe disease and
death from many respiratory
infections.

4. At the time of this review, the available evidence suggests
that smoking is associated with increased severity of
disease and death in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Although likely related to severity, there is no evidence to
quantify the risk to smokers of hospitalization with COVID-
19 or of infection by SARS-CoV-2 was found in the peer-
reviewed literature.
Population-based studies are needed to address these
questions.

5. Related WHO Recommendations
Given the well-established
harms associated with tobacco
use and second-hand smoke
exposure;2 WHO recommends
that tobacco users stop using
tobacco.
Proven interventions to help users
quit include toll-free quit lines,
mobile text-messaging cessation
programmes, nicotine replacement
therapies and other approved
medications.
