With the novel coronavirus sweeping the globe, the science on quitting smoking offers welcome news for smokers who want to build up their defenses in case they contract Covid-19. Though it may still take many months for a smoker's lungs to heal from damage caused by long-term smoking, your health can noticeably improve in the days and weeks after quitting in ways that could make a difference against the virus.
Covid-19 patients frequently experience acute lung injury, which can cause leakiness in mucus membranes, leading to what's called acute respiratory distress syndrome, Christman said. This condition can result in patients drowning in their own mucus.For smokers,"at baseline you're set up for chronic bronchitis," Christman said."With Covid, it gets worse.
Aren't they already?🤔
Ok...because if lung cancer, emphysema, copd, and all the rest didn’t give people a reason to quit, this will? Coming from someone who watched his dad continue to smoke thru stage 4 lung cancer until death
Um, yes, “Lung Doctors” are preaching not to smoke solely because of the Rona.
What about weed?
You know when is time to stop smoking? Answer;when they’re in on their death bed.
So many fools still smoking despite deluge of info abt heightened risks. Cigs over life....
I have a long time friend try this. Did you know that those patches are $40 for one week supply? With doc prescription and some kind of coded coupon, it's only $28 a week! This country is far from trying to be on a health path away from smoking.
They already do that anyway lol
How is this recent news? Shouldn’t lung doctors always preach this?
You’re talking out of it.... go to your room now.
This issue has been over and over,but sadly no one care unless they get infected.
How?
The BETTER word to use is 'Pulmonary' doctor.
are there any reports on marijuana smoking?
TrevorSutcliffe Ruin them.
Weren’t they already preaching that?
That is a good thing. Stop smoking.
As opposed to previously?🤪
You mean after you helped to legalize weed
It is always the time to quit smoking: it increases your odds of living a longer, healthier, & happier life. I quit four years ago, after twelve years of smoking. It was the second best (after my marriage) decision in my life. Your life will improve a lot within two-three months!
I suggest lung doctors look around this world we live in and the lives and struggles of most people, and shutting the fuck up. You want people to stop smoking, improve the quality of their lives and lessen any worries that people have.
I wonder if any scientific research has been done with marijuana as a possible solution? 🤔
I was just thinking about this! And it’s especially true if the person has a weakened immune system and allergic to cigarette ingredients! And that’s where exporants and decongestants come in. Duh dum ch... (Adult dosages are around twice as much as the children’s doses.)
I’m here for the MAGA folks that’ll yell “CNN is fake news” and proceed in starting a long lasting smoking habit.
Filthy habit
So happy about this!
CA_Kenya You mean smoking cannabis too, right?
Fake news CNN
USA says man who manufactured and sold the coronavirus to China. CharlesLieber, head of the chemistry &biology department at HarvardUniversity, USA. He was just arrested today according to American department sources. Is this verified? SharylAttkisson
When have Drs not done this?
Thanks goodness for Coronavirus
A stoned man and a cat entered a butcher-shop, the cat mewed so he asked the butcher to give it 1kg of liver, once done, it mewed again he said give it 1kg of beef then walked out. The butcher followed him and asked for the money, the stoner said, I was just translating! Corona
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We stay smoking broccoli
Not weed though.
Proud to be a Muslim alhamdollillah
any way ，quit smoking is beneficial for your health
Abramjee please read
Wow some productive information from CNN..unbelievable. it's usually just divisive content.
I say smoke em if u got em. D
I am not arjan. I smoke.
Smoking kills. It is dangerous to our respiratory system, when individuals are suffering through diseases. It lowers down immune system and increases complexities that are formed. If you wish to stay healthy for longer time, quit smoking. Of course, it is possible globalcitizen
FFS sakes with all the liberties subtracted from one's life I want to smoke so that I can get off this planet of nannies erlier
I used to stop smoking for about five years. The president of my ex-company was a heavy smoker. As one communication method, I started smoking again. My fault. I’m now an addicted smoker. Sorry! Still, let’s take care of ourselves😅
Lung doctors have been preaching the 'quit smoking' thing since the 1990s, probably earlier than that. Mainstream media are so terrible these days. I blame the 1996 Telecommunications Act.
100% Bullshit. This is what? 5th time I’ve seen this now?
I’m just gonna leave this here.
If smoking don't kill you, the Government will. No one lives forever.
Every doctor anywhere will RECOMMEND that everyone should quit smoking. Nothing to do with religion.
That’s hella cigs lol
More reason to switch to e-cigs if you can't quit cold-turkey. Taper down nicotine content to 0 mg with e-juices over time to wean yourself off the nicotine addiction and e-cigs have definitely been proven to be far safer than tobacco cigs. Of course, NO vaping/smoking is best.
I agree, but expecting people to quit smoking and drinking in the middle of a pandemic with self quarantine is a bit optimistic.
How would this sway those who smoke? They live...and die...by the motto 'it won't happen to me'. Surely there can't be one human alive with such low IQ that doesn't know and understand smoking is lethal...?
Follow India's lead....ban all Tobacco Ads.
I’m 21 and I picked up smoking a few months ago because the Queen of Pop LadyGaga was a smoker. She makes it seem sexy and glamorous and I’ve been enjoying it
I binge smoke one day each weekend. Go figure.
RISPARMIAMO DI SALUTA E DI TASCA
Does weed count?
keeping the smoking until the end of the world.
And getting proper nutrition to boost your immune system
Wont happen the tobacco industry contributes to Trump
Should have never started......
Oh gosh! We are more worried for the smokers than the smokers themselves.
Like they haven't been for decades?
'Well-known lung fucking habit may increase chances of dying from lung-fucking virus' shouldn't seem to be a message that needs reiterating but in all fairness it probably does
People who smoke, don't care about their health.
Vaping helps to quit smoking
Quit cold turkey Jan23 day of my left knee replacement. With allthe stress I really want a cigarette, but I fight it off every minute. Stay strong !!!
Smoking cigarettes is the ultimate natural selection, time to give it up guys
Pretty sure that was happening 20 years ago.
Is this a headline from 1973?
Even Democrat supporters you have got to be getting sick of this this affects your life to it doesn’t know between Democrat or Republican or Independent it’s out to kill everything in its path I urge you contact your representative tell them we need solutions not investigations
Just breathing the air is harmful for you!
then stop selling them
Mr. President it’s time you shut this media down it is of national security the campaign of disinformation and hatred they’ve been pushing on the American people it’s got to stop we are facing extinction from the planet and the Democrats can only investigate and do nothing
. who posted this? CillizzaCNN ? Because every lung doctor in America has ALREADY been preaching this for decades. Where the hell have you been? MAGA GOP TrumpVirus TrumpPandemic coronavirus COVID19 publichealth
Duly noted!!! I have fresh green marijuana for sale!!! You can cook with it as veggies & it doesn’t affect your lung. Follow me & I’ll follow back to discuss purchase & delivery
Smoking is my freedom
More 20 year olds are smoking and vaping sorry
I cannot forgive you for accepting advertising from MyPillow. Shame.
The death toll of COVID19 is much higher than the Islamic Republic regime declares. coronavirus for IR regime is a tool to kill Political Prisoners and put pressure on the international community to lift sanctions. MullahCovidHolocaust
The guy who had that job from the beginning:
'Smoking marijuana is at least as harmful to lungs as smoking tobacco, a report from the British Lung Foundation concludes. And in some key ways, it may be more dangerous.' Why would New York, or any state, consider legalizing marijuana?
What about weed
It isn't difficult to quit.
Don't hold your breath
You mean to say they haven't been for decades?
Well I'm not giving up my cigs. Also, can we push for tax relief on cartons?
But will smokers and companies listen to them?
When don't they? Stupid Story
But not Weed
Rg2112 I'm smoking more than I ever have now that I'm stuck at home. Buying cigarettes in bulk. Quitting definitely not happening right now. 🤷♂️
They.....they should do that anyway......
Were they not already?
I quit smoking if everyone else quits pesting the air with tire dust and exhaust fumes. How is that? See I am smoking for 44 years and have not a single issue based on smoking alone.
I hope so, it’s what they did pre-Covid-19. Whys that a headline?
You mean like they do EVERY day?
That’s a correct behavior
Marihuana too? There's a person in my neighborhood who smokes it 24/7,
Preaching doesn't cure addiction
Just lace them with cyanide and let the idiots weed themselves out
Yes smoking is bad. A lot in life is bad. It's disgusting but you have free will to do it & deal w/ the health issues that arise from it. It's a person choice to do what they want w/ there body. Treat it badly it will fail. Treat it like a temple it will survive. Lifes too short
smoking immune virus
__Dragunov Bye bye daniyal_humaid
My doctor said there’s nothing wrong with smoking 4 or 5 cigarettes a day. More Fake News!
Smoking should be made illegal from say 2025. Enough. It’s just incredibly stupid, harmful, polluting and anti-social. And a burden in the NHS. 10DowningStreet
That looks gross. I quit over two years ago best decision of my life.
they should be
They should stop trying to ban vapes. NYGovCuomo wevapewevote what you have doe to NY is unconscionable. We will have you removed.
I think nobody will smoke if nobody to plant tobacco.
What's new about that?
Breaking news by CNN: “Every lung doctor in America will be preaching that everyone should quit smoking.' Wow!
grueling ordeal
I agree that quitting is a very good thing. Not so much about the timing. Not thinking what would mean to be locked up with a hysterical smoker on withdrawal, aren’t you?
Cannot do that the tobacco industry contributes to orange Dons campaign fund.
mix real tobacco (tobacco from the native reservations/taino islands) and japanese seaweed. if you do that, you will thank me by giving me money (but 25 dollars Amazon card can do)..
Shall I sneeze my favorite keep-me-young-and-beautiful Marihuana now?
Hard pass there on that one hahaha, but yeah just stop selling them see what happens.
stop the co.operation from producing cigarette and legalize marijane around the world,the best medicine &cure for all man made viruses including CANCER,pharmas come with excuses and call marijane a gateway drug ,so that they can sell their poison
I’m pretty sure I already beat covid 19 at the end of February (no diagnosis but I had all the symptoms) I’m a smoker
I'm not a robot Twitter.
Agree!
