Could smoking and/or vaping make you more susceptible to covid-19 harms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: "The Food and Drug Administration has stated that "people who smoke cigarettes may be at increased risk of infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, and may have worse outcomes from COVID-19.” There is also growing evidence that vaping can harm lung health."
