Resumen
HERNANDEZ-PEREZ, Andrea et al. Associated risks of smoking and possible benefits of cessation in Covid-19: a rapid narrative review. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.2, pp.262-267. Epub 27-Feb-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/9371.
Objective:
To describe the possible risks associated to smoking in the spread and complications of Covid-19, emphasizing in the benefits of quitting smoking.
Materials and methods:
The narrative review methodology and the established process for Cochrane rapid reviews were used.
Results:
The scientific evidence related to smoking and Covid-19 remains limited. However, there is an already documented trend in cross-sectional, clinical studies and meta-analyses on the increased risk of adverse outcomes with Covid-19 associated with tobacco use.
Conclusions:
It is necessary to issue a warning that persons who smoke would have greater risks in the Covid-19 pandemic, which add to the many already known risks of tobacco use. Thus, quitting smoking becomes a relevant preventive measure to better confront SARS-CoV-2.
