how smoking vaping and drug use might
increase risks from cava nineteen
earlier this month the US Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention updated
its covered 19 recommendations to
specifically target older adults and
people with serious underlying medical
conditions they labeled this group is
higher risk however another group of
people could be particularly vulnerable
to cough at 19 and hasn't received as
much attention
people who smoke vapor have substance
use disorders the research community
should be alert to the possibility that
cava 19 could hit some populations with
substance use disorders particularly
hard dr. Nora Volkow director of the
National Institute on Drug Abuse wrote
in a blog post published last week
because cava nineteen attacks the lungs
those who smoke tobacco or marijuana or
who vape maybe especially threatened
volcko said when someone's lungs are
exposed to flu or other infections the
adverse effects of smoking or vaping are
much more serious than among people who
do not smoke or vape Stenton Glantz
professor of medicine and director of
the Center for tobacco research control
and education at University of
California San Francisco wrote in a blog
post updated Tuesday vaping affects your
lungs at every level it effects the
immune function in your nasal cavity by
affecting cilia which push foreign
things out the ability of your upper
Airways to clear viruses is compromised
Glantz said in a phone interview the cdc
reported on Wednesday that young adults
under age 44 make up a big part of cava
19 hospitalizations in the US and Lance
questions whether the vaping epidemic
might have contributed to this some of
my pulmonary colleagues have noted
people under 30 with cava 19 ending up
in hospitals and a couple were vapors
Glenn said however he said there hasn't
been enough research or evidence to
support whether there's a link people
who smoke or generally at an increased
risk of serious complications such as
acute respiratory distress syndrome when
they have a severe infection the odds of
a coffered 19 case becoming more severe
and at the most extreme leading to death
were 14 times higher among people who
had a history of smoking compared to
those who did not smoke bland said
citing a study from China published
the peer-reviewed Chinese medical
journal in February the study also found
those with a history of smoking had a
14% higher risk of developing pneumonia
concerns about other drugs besides
smoking and e-cigarettes Volker wrote
that people who abuse opioids and
methamphetamine may be at risk for
serious complications of cava 19 because
of the effects these drugs have on
respiratory and pulmonary health opioid
slow breathing and have already been
shown to increase mortality in people
with respiratory diseases according to
volcko thus diminished lung capacity
from cava 19 could similarly endanger
this population
she said methamphetamine has been shown
to produce significant pulmonary damage
since it binds heavily to pulmonary
tissue volcko explained in a phone
interview this will likely increase the
risk of negative outcomes if used during
a cava nineteen infection people with
substance use disorders also rely on
treatment that traditionally involves
human interaction such as therapy
sessions or method in clinics which will
be challenging in the setting of
widespread social distancing according
to dr. allison lin assistant professor
in psychiatry in the addiction center at
the university of michigan lin said it's
important for everyone to quit smoking
due to its unknown but potentially
serious effects uncovered 19 patients
this is particularly important for
people with substance use disorders
since they are more likely to smoke she
said for everyone infected with cava 19
one thing people can do now to reduce
the risk of serious illness is quitting
smoking
according to glance at a time when
people are looking to reduce risk
it's very sensible to stop insulting
