”Smoking and coronavirus
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infection. Respiratory infections are serious infections that affect normal breathing. A wide range of bacteria and viruses cause these infections.
Smoking affects the immune system in the airways, lung tissue and throughout the body. This reduces your natural protection against infections, like coronavirus.
This means that if you smoke:
you have an increased risk of getting acute respiratory infections
you have a greater risk of the infection lasting longer
you have a greater risk of the infection being more serious than it would be for someone who does not smoke
Second-hand smoke has similar effects. Children who are exposed to smoke are at increased risk of acute respiratory infections.
Stopping smoking reduces your risk of smoking-related illness. Reducing exposure to second-hand smoke is also important, especially for children”
