Recently, it has been rumored that the use of e-cigarettes may increase the probability of infection with Coronavirus. On March 8, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio took the stage to speak to city residents about the virus and its diseases it causes. The people that are especially at risk, said the mayor, are those with lung disease, heart disease, cancer, compromised immune systems, or diabetes. Those conditions, he said, place people infected with coronavirus “in danger of a very bad medical outcome.”
De Blasio then said that “we do know that smoking and vaping makes it easier for the disease to have a more negative impact on a person’s body. It’s not the same as a pre-existing condition, but it is an important factor in the equation as well.”
“If you are a smoker or a vaper that does make you more vulnerable,” de Blasio repeated. “If you are a smoker or a vaper this is a very good time to stop that habit and we will help you.”
Actually we don’t know whether the mayor is right or not. As of now, no authoritative research has shown that there is an inevitable link between e-cigarettes and coronavirus. Maybe this statement is not based on research, but more on guesswork. There are different actions been taken several days later.
On March 11, Italy, which has become the world ’s most severely infected country except China, its Prime Minister Conti announced a complete suspension of all business activities including bars and restaurants, except pharmacies, supermarkets, newsstands, and tobacco shops. On March 13, the Italian Ministry of Health and the Prime Minister clarified and stated that in addition to tobacco shops, vape shops can re-open to meet the needs of vapers.
On the report of March 20, the UK government is being urged to open vape shops nationwide rather than forcibly closing them as part of a strengthened coronavirus containment strategy. The UKVIA has written to Westminster and the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments saying that closing vape shops may make vapers return to smoking, which may put more pressure on the already overloaded National Health Service.
Dr. Riccardo Polosa, a world-renowned scientist and researcher on vaping and tobacco harm reduction, successfully argued that due to the stress caused by the Coronavirus, with the closure of vape shops vapers were highly likely to go back to smoking cigarettes to maintain their nicotine needs.
This could be dangerous from a public health perspective and could heighten the risk of exposure of tobacco smoke to bystanders, including families and children, during the Coronavirus outbreaks. This could also place a further burden on an already overstretched health system.
Sir Kevin Barron, Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and former MP and previous member of the General Medical Council, said: "It is predicted that Coronavirus will have a huge negative mental health impact on our population with added stress and anxiety arising from being quarantined or isolated, worries about jobs and finances, and the risk of the disease to themselves and friends and families.”
Barron added, "In such situations, there can be a heightened temptation to smoke and its crucial that continued access to vaping during the crisis ensures vapers do not return to conventional cigarettes and that those existing smokers can be encouraged to switch to vaping. The concern is that if the number of smokers increases in the UK this could place further pressure on an already under pressure domestic health system struggling to deal with the coronavirus. "
Italian scientist Dr. Polosa also said that for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, we found that if only e-cigarettes are used, their respiratory system will have some subjective and objective improvements. We call it harm reversal rather than risk reduction, because they already have the disease, so the risk is not reduced. But their risk of cardiovascular disease or other diseases such as cancer from smoking may be reduced.
I think what Dr. Polosa said may explain the opinion "for smokers, vaping is healthier than smoking."
What's your opinion?

What's your opinion?
What items should be equipped for the home quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic?
The World Health Organization has officially declared the coronavirus a pandemic. Coronavirus may be spreading, but it isn't necessary to randomly hoard supplies. Here's everything you should have in your home emergency kit in case of a possible home quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.
1. Food
For the home quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic, you should stock up at least a 14-day supply of food for every person. Focus on dry and canned goods that are easy to prepare. Frozen foods are an option, too.
2. Hygienic products
Enough household hygienic products like soap, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, tissues, feminine care products, and diapers are necessary. According to the CDC, keeping your hands clean is one of the best ways to protect yourself from the coronavirus.
3. Medicine and a first-aid kit
Make sure you have a 14-day supply of any prescription medications for those in your home. You may also want over-the-counter pain relievers, antacids, cough and cold medicines, and vitamins. Also, you should maintain a first-aid kit with supplies to treat common injuries, including cuts, scrapes, swelling, sprains, strains and more.
4. Flashlight or emergency light and spare battery
Put a flashlight or an emergency light near your bed, workplace, and car. Make sure the flashlight or emergency light has enough electricity or can be charged in time.
5. Masks, disposable medical gloves, and goggles
Masks can isolate most viruses transmitted through droplets and aerosols.
So, not only this sudden coronavirus epidemic, we might as well get into the habit of wearing a mask at certain times and occasions. In the season when the flu prevails, wearing a mask in high-density confined spaces such as public transportation is also a good precaution.
In addition, medical gloves mainly deal with contact infection, because it’s too late to wash your hands due to some sudden contact infections. Goggles can prevent virus infection from the eyes.
6. Disinfection equipment
Perhaps have some disinfection equipment, such as a UV disinfection lamp or Ozone generator to keep the family safe and clean.
XTAR new product AF1 Ozone Portable Sterilizer can purify the air, sterilize and kill viruses, and protect your family's health. The principle of ozone killing viruses is through the direct destruction of RNA or DNA. Ozone has a wide range of sterilization and sterilization, which can kill bacterial propagules and spores, viruses, fungi, etc., and can also destroy botulinum toxins.
As mentioned above, some of our family's emergency reserves are basically on hand, and some are the most important reserves after this pandemic. Establishing a family emergency reserve is the rational and scientific progress of civilization.
