According to a new study, smokers are more vulnerable to Covid 19.
The study was conducted by King's College London and published in the journal Thorax. It examined the data from March to April which included 2.4 million people.
Out of these, 11 per cent of people were smokers. In a study in the medical journal-Thorax, The data analysis of the Zoe Covid Symptom Study app used by Dr. Brigitte Gomperts, a professor of pulmonary medicine, said that “Our model replicates the upper part of the airways, which is the first place the virus hits.”This is the part that produces mucus to trap viruses, bacteria and toxins. And it contains cells with finger-like projections that beat that mucus up and out of the body,” she added.
