Smokers aren’t quitting due to coronavirus

Both the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have stated that smokers, along with those with diabetes, heart disease, or chronic lung disease, are at greater risk of developing severe complications due to the virus. In fact, sales of traditional cigarettes have actually picked up. Increased cigarette sales may not be due to increased smoking, exactly: Some of the uptick is likely due to stockpiling.
