如果以前的种种原因都不能让你戒烟，也许现在是时候了。随着新冠肺炎的肆虐，死亡人数的攀升，戒烟或许能救你一命。
“世界卫生组织（WHO）在三月份发表了科学研究表示：吸烟者更易感染新冠肺炎。这主要是因为手接触了沾有病毒的表面。抽烟时，吸烟者会用手接触嘴部，这可能导致病毒进入体内。电子烟也同样如此。”
吸烟者新冠风险高
此外，根据中国的分析报告也发现，吸烟者的肺炎和死亡比例是无吸烟者的两倍！在这项报告，其中137位吸烟患者中，重症人数为29人，重症比为21.2%；927位非吸烟患者中，重症人数为134人，重症比例为14.5%。主要原因是很多烟民同时也患有慢性阻塞肺部疾病(COPD)、支气管炎、肺痨、肺癌和其他肺病。吸烟也会导致高血压、糖尿病、冠心病等慢性疾病。这些都削弱了肺部功能和免疫能力，导致严重肺炎和呼吸问题。
内科和神经科专科的陈伟阳医生特别为读者说明，“打个比方，吸烟者可能只有50%的肺功能，如果不幸感染了新冠肺炎，肺部功能进一步下跌，很可能就需要使用呼吸器，这促使复原的机会进一步减少。更不幸的是如果吸烟者感染了新冠肺炎，病毒通过吸烟者吐出的烟雾也有更高的机率传播给身边的人。”
警惕电子烟危害
近年，电子烟在全球范围内流行开来，各地政府对电子烟的规定不一，一些国家如泰国、新加坡和巴西完全禁止公众抽电子烟。但另一些国家如英国，则支持国民使用电子烟来代替传统香烟。在马来西亚，除了柔佛与吉兰丹早在2016年起已全面禁售，电子烟在本地的发展其实非常迅速，甚至连学生都已视抽电子烟为潮流。
根据《2016年大马青少年香烟与电子烟调查》，我国共有30万名学生抽电子烟。电子烟是对含有尼古丁和香精的液体进行加热，产生蒸汽或喷雾，然后被吸入。很多电子烟的气体也包含尼古丁，会让人上瘾。今年10月，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）公布的数据显示，疑因抽电子烟导致肺部疾病的病例增加至1299个，已有26人死亡。
医生有话说：
目前为止，我们并不确定使用电子香烟短期和长期健康风险，但是我们不可轻忽它可能带来的危害。重点在于，市面上没有可靠的研究证明电子香烟能帮助人们戒烟，千万别随意相信电子烟的宣传广告。此外，电子烟一般需要频密的手嘴接触，如果公用同个烟嘴更容易传染病毒！如果你或你身边的人也想戒烟，不要犹豫，现在就行动！
