The World Health Organisation has said smokers and tobacco consumers have a high chance of contracting COVID-19.

The United Nations’ specialised body for global health also said asthmatic and diabetic patients are vulnerable to be infected with the virus.

“Smokers may also already have lung disease or reduced lung capacity which would greatly increase the risk of serious illness. “Conditions that increase oxygen needs or reduce the ability of the body to use it properly will put patients at higher risk of serious lung conditions such as pneumonia.

Ok so all the people who contacted the virus are smokers? What of those who died?

Life is good but without good health life is bad.

Corolavirus is not powerfull. Simple something I know can kill any stage of coronavirus with out waiting time

If I have the cure before I release it, I want buhari to step down and I want 1 billion dollar from the world, will WHO come to my demand

This is the practical 'smokers are reliable to die young'.

Why won't they be at high risk of contacting COVID-19 when their immune systems are at the brink of collapsing?

Could this be a clue as to the cause of the high fatality rates in Italy and Spain?

Is Jamiacan in Italy - Europe ?

I've not heard a case in Jamaica oooo

officialnairam1 and Malians beware

If they could heed to this advise🗣️📢📣

Why is it so

But from the latest reports, it seems that liars are the highest risk of COVID19Nigeria not actually the smokers but those responsible for the smoke.

Smokers don suffer - prone to TB, prone to cancer and now COVID-19 again.

Lair

But the covid 19 cases in Jamaica 🇯🇲 is not high
