吸烟与2019冠状病毒病

2019冠状病毒病是由一种新型冠状病毒引致的病毒性肺炎。病征包括发烧、乏力、干咳及呼吸困难。年龄较大或有慢性疾病（例如呼吸道及心血管疾病）患者有较大机会出现严重情况甚至死亡。

最新2019冠状病毒病的研究显示，吸烟者染病后出现严重病征机会很大可能比不吸烟者为高。吸烟导致呼吸道及心血管疾病，增加患者出现严重情况及死亡机会。科学研究亦一早证实吸烟破坏心肺系统的组织和功能，大大降低人体抵御传染病和修复的能力，增加感染呼吸道传染病例如肺炎的机会。

同时，吸烟增加双手触摸面部口部的机会，以致增加感染的风险。为健康着想，吸烟者应立即戒烟。

事实上，心肺及循环系统功能在戒烟后短时间内已经会有所改善，例如一氧化碳血含量下降，从而改善身体细胞缺氧状况。

水烟烟膏由烟草制成，同样损害健康。一般吸食水烟常见使用公用水烟器具，器具组件（例如喉管及水盆）在每次使用后往往难以彻底消毒。而水烟器具的设计和用法亦非常适合微生物滋长及传播，过往研究已发现使用水烟增加感染疱疹、肺痨及丙型肝炎等传染病的风险。因此，大家切勿吸食水烟尤其不要使用公用水烟器具。

二手烟和一手烟同样破坏心肺系统，保护自己和身边人，今日立即戒烟！
