Smoking is one of the main reasons for the high mortality rate from coronavirus among men. This was stated by Spanish neuroscientist Diego Regolar, by analyzing data on the number of cases and deaths in the country.
Men die approximately 2.5 times more often than women. The age does not matter. “Must be some variable that has an impact. And we, like some other researchers believe this is due to Smoking,” suggested the expert. The logic is simple. 30 percent died from COVID-19 were of cardiovascular diseases that smokers are more common than those who lead a healthy life.
At the same time, the French Institut Pasteur have published data that contradict the conclusions of a Spanish neurobiology. Among 350 patients with severe coronavirus Smoking was only 4 percent.
“There are too many factors COVID-19, which experts still don’t know. Now it is important to gather as much information as possible about the patients,” Regolare cites RIA Novosti.
