Washington: In this changing era, everyone is fond of something and many people have habit, such as drinking, smoking, etc. Consumption of things is included in everyday work. At the same time, consuming these intoxicants is also harmful to life, so today we know about whether smoking is good for health or not.

Smoking lung patients should be alert. Such people can come in the grip of coronavirus soon. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have claimed that people who are suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of lung disease may also be at high risk of coronavirus (Kovid-19) if they smoke. Smoky COPD patients have high levels of an enzyme, which can facilitate the entry of corona into the lungs.

An earlier study has shown that angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) resides on the surface of lung cells. It serves as the entry point for the corona. The virus enters the cells and causes infection. According to a new study published in European media reports, lower levels of ACE-2 were found in people who quit cigarettes compared to smokers in the current era.
