Research also revealed that a further 60% admitted to continuing their habit despite knowing smokers suffered more severe Covid symptoms, while 18% of smokers reduced their habit after hearing about the increased risk. However, 23% were unaware of the increased danger. On the other hand, a total of 22% revealed that they now smoked up to 20% more than before the pandemic, and about 41% said their smoking habits remained the same.
Fewer smokers than non-smokers among COVID-19 patients
In line with this, when renowned anti-smoking researcher Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos and his two colleagues analyzed data coming out of China, they found that there were fewer smokers among COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital.
Similarly, another review of Chinese data published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine concluded that "active smoking does not appear to be significantly associated with an increased risk of developing severe disease in COVID-19."
Ex-smoker COPD patients who switch to e-cigarettes experience improved health
Meanwhile, following up on findings published two years ago, a recent study led by award-winning and renowned expert in tobacco harm reduction, Prof. Riccardo Polosa, confirmed that smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who switched to vaping reported improved respiratory symptoms, compared to those who continued to smoke.
In the study titled "Health effects in COPD smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes: a 3-year retrospective-prospective follow-up," this research previously had 44 participants over three years. The participants were divided into two groups: those who switched from smoking to vaping and those who continued to smoke. The collected data showed that COPD patients who switched to vaping reported improved respiratory symptoms, while those who continued to smoke experienced no change.
Following up on the same COPD patients two years later, the latest study, "COPD smokers who switch to e-cigarettes: health outcomes at 5-year follow-up," found that the vaping group experienced an approximately 50% reduction in flare-ups and their cardio-respiratory health significantly improved, as well as an increase in exercise capacity and quality of life.
