2019 年新型冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 已演变成一场迅速蔓延的大流行病。 COVID-19 的危险因素，如心血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和糖尿病，都与吸烟习惯密切相关。吸烟对病毒传播和 COVID-19 恶化的影响却很少被提及。新数据表明，吸烟史是导致 COVID-19 结局恶化的主要决定因素。戒烟可以恢复气道纤毛清除和免疫功能。因此，大力鼓励提高戒烟意识，将其作为限制 COVID-19 全球影响的公共卫生措施。
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has already evolved into a rapidly expanding pandemic. Risk factors for COVID-19, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes, are all strongly associated with smoking habits. The effects of cigarette smoking on the transmission of the virus and worsening of COVID-19 have been less addressed. Emerging data indicate that smoking history is the major determinant of worsening COVID-19 outcomes. Smoking cessation recovers airway ciliary clearance and immune function. Thus, smoking cessation awareness is strongly encouraged as a public health measure to limit the global impact of COVID-19.
