Tokyo, March 24 Using heated tobacco products an alternative to traditional cigarettes, similar to e-cigarettes or vapes is more likely to make you susceptible to Covid virus and require hospitalisation or oxygen, according to a study."This study shows that the use of heated tobacco products may have an impact on SARS-CoV-2 infections and disease progression," said Kazuhisa Asai, Associate Professor from the Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan."We hope this report will encourage people to think about tobacco use in the context of the added risks due to coronavirus infection," Asai added.Heated tobacco products do not burn tobacco leaves, but rather allow users to inhale the vapour produced by heating the tobacco leaves.People choose heated tobacco products to avoid the smoke and odour of burnt tobacco as well as the expectation that they pose fewer health risks than traditional cigarettes.However, the long-term health effects of heated tobacco products, particularly the new risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, have not been clarified.To address this concern, a research group led by Asai conducted a study focusing on the relationship between using heated tobacco products and SARS-CoV-2 infection.The research group investigated the relationship between tobacco use, including heated tobacco products and traditional cigarettes with SARS-CoV-2 infection and possible exacerbations of Covid.They administered an online survey of living conditions in February 2022 to 30,130 participants aged 16-81 years, who were randomly selected from the general population through an online survey according to a representative distribution, and conducted further statistical analyses.From their analysis, published in Scientific Reports, the research group found that users of heated tobacco products including both people who use them exclusively or in combination with traditional cigarettes had significantly higher rates of Covid compared to non-users.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
