Experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) point out that people who smoke are more at risk of spreading the infection than others. The biggest reason for this is that cigarettes or ladders, which can also be infected, come in direct contact with the fingers and lips. This increases the risk of virus infection. Apart from this, it can also prove to be fatal for those who consume hookah, cigars or e-cigarettes.
