Coronavirus and smoking: The “planned” research and the new anti-marketing campaign
[/fusion_title][fusion_text] “We celebrate each day as World No Tobacco Day. We protect ourselves against a possible second wave of COVID-19 pandemic”. The Hellenic Pulmonary Society (EPE), on the occasion of this year’s celebration of No Smoking World Day, set for May 31, urges people to stop smoking and informs about the interesting facts that emerged from the COVID-19 disease pandemic in terms of smoking and the outcome of the disease. According to Paraskevi Katsaounou -Assistant Professor of Pulmonology in the Medical School of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens- and coordinator of the Infectious Diseases Group of the Ltd, during the pandemic of COVID-19 disease, the following issues emerged:
- Smoking is a major risk factor for diseases (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Diabetes mellitus, etc.), which make patients susceptible to the serious COVID-19 disease
- Smoking increases in-hospital mortality, in patients under treatment for COVID-19
- There are no valid scientific studies to prove the beneficial effects of smoking or nicotine on COVID-19 disease. The existing studies have significant methodological deficits and some are funded by the tobacco industry.
In addition, she noted that smokers are more at risk, as they bring their hands to their face more often, while specific tobacco products, such as hookah, are used by more users, increasing the chances of spreading the virus. “We already know that smoking is a significant aggravating factor for lower respiratory tract infections, such as influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia and tuberculosis. For example, smokers are 57% more likely to get tuberculosis, passive smokers are 44% more likely to get it as well and infants exposed to secondhand smoke by their parents are 82% more likely to get sick from lower respiratory infections. In particular, smoking reduces defense and mucociliar airway clearance”, he said.
Not another deceived generation…
“Protecting young people from the manipulation of industry and preventing them from using tobacco and nicotine has been the primary goal of World Day 2020. According to the WHO, this need has occurred as internal documents related to the tobacco industry reveal in-depth research and calculated approaches designed to attract a new generation of tobacco users. These approaches are primarily concerned with the design of tobacco products, but also marketing campaigns, which aim to replace millions of people – who die each year from tobacco-related diseases – with new, young consumers, ” said Ioanna Mitrouska, coordinator of the Smoking & Health Promotion Group of Ltd. , during an online presentation. In response to this systematic, aggressive and persistent tobacco industry-related tactic to attract a new generation of tobacco users, World No Tobacco Day 2020 launches an anti-marketing campaign and gives young people the opportunity to participate in the race against Big Tobacco.
