ABSTRACT
The objective of the article was to examine the relationship of tobacco smoking with the risk of acquiring COVID-19. Gas exchange, lung function, and blood circulation, processes directly affected in COVID-19, improve quickly after smoking cessation. Quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to tobacco smoke and vapors can have a positive impact, reducing the risk involved in COVID-19 and smoking.
