Impact of Tobacco Smoking on the Risk of COVID-19: A Large Scale Retrospective Cohort Study

Nicolas Paleiron et al.

Summary: Preliminary reports suggested smokers might have lower susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 but a higher risk of severe disease. A study on sailors aboard a naval vessel found that current smokers had a lower risk of Covid-19 infection, while those over 50 had an increased risk. Additional research is needed to understand the mechanism behind smokers' lower susceptibility to the virus.
