E-cigarettes and Corona .. a study reveals a “disastrous relationship”

E-cigarettes

 A new American study has linked e-cigarette smoking and infection with the Corona virus. This study specifically referred to the negative effects of the chemical liquid, as the researchers said that e-cigarettes increase virus receptors, so how are e-cigarettes related to infection with the Corona virus?


While many people accept e-cigarettes that depend on a mixture of chemical liquids, believing that they are less harmful than other tobacco-based smoking media, a new study conducted by the University of California showed that the components of e-cigarette liquid enhance the receptors for infection with the Corona virus, and they also noted a significant correlation between The protein on the surface of cells that facilitates infection with the virus, and the pH of the e-liquid.


Researchers have noted that nicotine-containing devices enhance tissue infection with the Coronavirus, and that evidence shows that e-cigarettes increase receptors for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the Covid-19 epidemic.


Fresh environment for injury


The head of the chest diseases department at Arpagun Hospital, Waheed Ahmed, said in his speech to the morning program on "Sky News Arabia", "The electronic cigarette gives inflammatory substances that increase the possibilities of heart problems, angina pectoris, and the chances of tuberculosis and pneumonia problems. The nicotine in electronic cigarettes causes health problems. Many of them are cancers and others, and they are not without many health hazards.”


Ahmed considered that viruses thrive in environments with health problems such as pneumonia and others, which increases their effectiveness, but in general, this study is a laboratory study and was not conducted on a human or animal, and the researchers concluded through it that the receptors on the surface of the body cells associated with the Corona virus are easy to enter. The cells of the body recover and work due to the presence of nicotine in electronic cigarettes.


And Ahmed indicated that chest doctors generally prefer the smoker to use electronic cigarettes instead of the regular cigarette if the smoker does not succeed in quitting completely, which is the best and best scenario for human health, but at the same time we say that the increasing demand of young people for electronic cigarettes greedily also poses health problems. Indispensable to her."
