Many smokers do not comply with the obligation to wear a mask in public areas, the lungs warn of its dangers.

Coronavirus – the second year

It has been more than a year since the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of the emergence of a new, rapidly spreading virus. Since then, there has hardly been a person in the world who has not heard the term Covid-19, and more and more people are mourning a family member or friend with whom the new disease ended as stocks collapsed in weeks and our entire lives were rewritten. by the epidemic. By now, the vaccines have been completed, which in turn raises not only hope, but again many questions, while not only stopping the virus, but also threatening another mutation. You can find the details of this fight in our article series.

The obligation to wear a mask also applies to smokers, however, many people blow smoke in public areas without the mask: pulmonologist Márta Fényes told the Index about the dangers, warning that smoked cigarette smoke travels up to 3-4 meters away. it also transmits the virus with such intensity.

Katalin Várdi, a pulmonologist and chief physician at the InspiroMed Respiratory Center, told Index that people have now run out of patience, relaxed their discipline, and at the worst possible time, “and we really should shut up now.”

In the chief physician’s experience, the vaccinations that have been initiated have confused people: those who have already been vaccinated are said to be “gaining a new confidence in the world while spreading the infection in the same way.” The pulmonologist believes that smokers now must also change their habits: they should not smoke on the street, since when smoking cigarettes compared to traditional breathing, the smoke, and possibly the virus, comes from deep within the lungs and spreads to a larger area. .

That is, if a smoker is infected by Covid, it is highly contagious.
