While the Corona virus continues to die rapidly around the world, studies are ongoing to find solutions such as drugs and vaccines against the epidemic. An extraordinary research is being carried out in France, which is one of the countries most affected by the virus and where more than 21 thousand people die.
Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital experts carried out over 350 of the corona virus patients admitted to them. It was determined that 4.4 percent of the patients with an average age of 65 and 5.3 percent of the patients with an average age of 44 smoke.
Specialists, who focus on the thesis that smokers are less caught in the virus or experience symptoms less, think that this is related to nicotine. Stating that they have no intention of starting anyone to smoke, the work team stated that nicotine tapes will be applied to patients and employees in order to observe the effects more clearly.
Although these claims about tobacco products and nicotine have been raised before, a large group, including the American Food and Drug Administration, argues that smoking increases the likelihood of getting infected by the respiratory tract.
