How can people who already smoke reduce their risk of getting covid-19?

COVID 19 Prevention: Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces. The same recommendations apply to smokers and non-smokers.
