SMOKERS may be more vulnerable to contracting Covid-19, a high-ranking city health official said. Davao City Covid-19 focal person Dr. Ashley Lopez said in a video presentation that smokers of cigarette, cigar, vape and other heated tobacco products may be more vulnerable to contracting the virus, as the act of smoking involves contact of fingers with the lips, which increases the possibility of transmission of viruses from hand to mouth. Lopez, who is also the Vices Regulation Unit (VRU) head, said that smoking and vaping can affect one s cilia, which is located at nasopharynx, and lungs. He said cilia are hair-like projections that move microbes and debris up and out of the airways. Scattered throughout the cilia are goblet cells that secrete mucus, which helps protect the lining of the bronchus and trap microorganisms.
