ABSTRACT
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants are still globally spreading. Vaccines can reduce the mortality, but cannot eliminate the risk of infection. The identification and protection of the high-risk susceptible population remains of great importance for the prevention and control of SARS-CoV2 and other coronavirus infections. Smoking is an important risk factor for many respiratory diseases, and therefore may also influence the risk of SARS-CoV2 infection and the disease progression after infection. This study reviewed the epidemiological and mechanistic evidence supporting the relationship between tobacco exposure and SARS-CoV2 infection, summarized the contributing effects of tobacco exposure to the infection risk, disease severity, and mortality of COVID-19, and analyzed the molecular mechanisms by which cigarette smoking affects COVID-19 through regulating inflammatory microenvironment and gene expression.
