Possible English title within 10 words: Increased COVID-19 risk for e-cigarette users: report

Aug.31.2022
Smokers of electronic cigarettes have increased chance of getting infected with COVID-19, according to a Moscow official.

The likelihood of contracting the coronavirus appears to be higher among e-cigarette users. This was reported by Elena Samyshina, chief physician of the Moscow Health Department's Third City Comprehensive Clinic and member of Moscow City Duma's Economic and Social Policy Committee.

 

The deputy used scientific research results to demonstrate that smoking can weaken the body's immunity to the coronavirus.

 

According to Elena Samyshina, experiments conducted by biologists demonstrate that certain substances in e-cigarettes make cells more susceptible to viral infections.

 

Scientists connected electronic cigarettes and liquids from various brands to a specialized device that produces vapor at the same concentration levels typically inhaled by humans. They then used the resulting vapor to treat cells and monitored their reaction to modeling SARS-CoV-2 particles. This progress was discussed by the legislator.

 

Samyshina added that both smokers and doctors should take into account this particular characteristic of the body.

 

Meanwhile, the incidence of COVID-19 continues to rise. According to the headquarters of the COVID-19 Control Action, Russia recorded 37,067 new cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours. 4,673 people have been hospitalized, an increase of 135% from the previous day.

 

In the past 24 hours, 4,405 people in Moscow have been diagnosed with coronavirus.
