关于烟草使用与COVID-19感染/进展之间的关系，有各种证据。目前的研究调查了吸烟者和从不吸烟者样本中的信念和烟草使用行为以及COVID-19感染。数据是通过2020年4月1日至5月31日在伊朗基于云的社交媒体网络应用程序Telegram进行的在线调查收集的。研究参与者包括从不吸烟者（n = 511），当前（上个月）水管吸烟者（n = 89），当前吸烟者（n = 158）和戒烟者（n = 172）。多项逻辑回归用于比较烟草使用组和从不吸烟者的信念，控制潜在的混杂因素。研究参与者（n = 944）大多为男性（64%），高中以上学历（76%），居住在城市地区（91%），平均± SD年龄为35.3 ± 10.8。这项研究的主要发现是，与从不吸烟者相比：（1）吸烟者不太可能相信吸烟会导致COVID-19传播;（2）水烟吸烟者更可能相信在家吸烟是一种安全的做法，水烟可以预防COVID-19，吸烟可能会导致更快地从COVID-19中恢复;（3）在COVID-19大流行期间，水烟及香烟吸烟者均认为在公共场所使用电子烟是安全的做法;及（4）超过一半的戒烟者因COVID-19而戒烟，其中大部分计划在大流行后继续戒烟。我们的研究结果强调，有必要提高人们对使用烟草产品的危害较低或可能对COVID-19有保护作用的未经证实的说法的认识，并促进戒烟计划。
There is mixed evidence surrounding the relationship between tobacco use and COVID-19 infection/progression. The current study investigates beliefs and tobacco use behaviors and COVID-19 infection among a sample of smokers and never-smokers. Data were collected using an online survey distributed through Telegram, a cloud-based social media networking application in Iran from April 1 to May 31, 2020. The study participants included never-smokers (n = 511), current (past-month) waterpipe smokers (n = 89), current cigarette smokers (n = 158), and ex-smokers (n = 172). Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare tobacco use groups with never- smokers on beliefs, controlling for potential confounders. The study participants (n = 944) was mostly male (64%), had > high school education (76%), and lived in an urban area (91%), with mean ± SD age of 35.3 ± 10.8. Key findings of this study are that compared with never-smokers: (1) cigarette smokers were less likely to believe that smoking cigarette can lead to spreading COVID-19; (2) waterpipe smokers were more likely to believe that smoking waterpipe at home was a safe practice, that waterpipe protects against COVID-19, and smoking waterpipe may lead to a more rapid recovery from COVID-19; (3) both waterpipe and cigarette smokers believed that using e-cigarettes in public places was a safe practice during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (4) more than half of the ex-smokers stopped smoking due to COVID-19 and most of them planned to continue abstaining from smoking after the pandemic. Our findings underscore the need to raise awareness about the unsupported claims of a lower hazard of using tobacco products or possible protective effects against COVID-19 and to promote cessation programs.
