Are you a smoker?
Well, I’ve got some bad news for you.
As per the new study conducted by the British medical journal Thorax, if you get infected with the covid-19 virus, its outcome can be devastated for you.
This study was conducted and observed on 400,000 people who contracted with the COVID-19 virus.
Their latest study to find the correlation between smoking and COVID-19 deaths concluded with these shocking findings where people who currently smoke and get covid are 80% more likely to be hospitalized.
Not just, smoking also increases their overall chances of dying from the virus.
Even though, the researchers did say that current smokers are not at higher risk of facing a confirmed COVID infection.
