That smoking is harmful and has no positive effects for tobacco users, beyond the psychological one, is always proven obvious. That it is also harmful in terms of how covid-19 attacks organisms damaged by smoke, is also proven. Well, now it has also been verified that there is a direct relationship in how fewer antibodies are generated in people accustomed to ingesting tobacco.
Another point in favor of health and health in its fight against smokers. A recent study has shown that there is evidence that a tobacco user has less capacity to generate antibodies with the covid-19 vaccines than a non-smoker.
This follows from the samples obtained from almost 400 health workers between the ages of 32 and 54 who had obtained the Pfizer vaccine. A direct relationship was reached once it was seen that there were more male smokers than female smokers, with levels well below these on men who did not ingest tobacco.
In addition, the investigations also reaffirmed the idea that a third dose should be applied to patients older than 65 years. And it is that these also obtained fewer antibodies, so Japan already has more evidence to apply a measure that is being carried out, among others, .
Former smokers did not see their abilities affected by the tobacco registry
But going back to tobacco, this has been the first study that establishes a direct relationship between the ability to generate antibodies and its consumption. Of course, without true effects on ex-smokers, the tests only confirm that covid-19 attacks more those who move in environments with these smokes and not those who moved in the past.
One more reason to end this product, since the beginning of the pandemic, as it has been more than demonstrated that, health-wise, an organism affected by tobacco and the coronavirus is more vulnerable than one that does not have traces of tobacco.
