Teens and young adults who have been tested for coronavirus are more likely to be infected with the disease if they smoke, vape, or engage in both, a recent study from Stanford University School of Medicine shows.
A COVID-19 diagnosis was 7 times more likely for those who both vape nicotine and smoke cigarettes when compared to non-users, according to the study.
In addition, teens and young adults who had used both vapes and cigarettes within the previous month were 6.8 times more likely to be diagnosed with coronavirus.
Participants who vaped and did not smoke combustible cigarettes were five times more likely to have coronavirus, according to the findings.
