“…T here are several reviews that fall within the scope of smoking and COVID-19 [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] . We aimed to produce a rapid synthesis of available evidence pertaining to the rates of infection, hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 stratified by smoking status.…”

Background: SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of COVID-19, an emergent zoonotic disease which has reached pandemic levels and is designated a public health emergency of international concern. It is plausible that former or current smoking status are risk factors for infection, hospitalisation and/or mortality from COVID-19. Objective: We aimed to estimate the rates of i) infection, ii) hospitalisation, iii) disease severity, and iv) mortality from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 stratified by smoking status. Methods: We adopted recommended practice for rapid evidence reviews, which involved limiting the search to main databases and having one reviewer extract data and another verify. Published articles and pre-prints were identified via MEDLINE, EPPI-Mapper and expertise within the review team. We included observational studies with community-dwelling or hospitalised adults aged 16+ years who had been tested for SARS-CoV-2 or were diagnosed with COVID-19, providing that data on smoking status were reported. Studies were judged as high quality if they explicitly recorded current, former and never smoking status with low levels of missing data. Results: T wenty-eight studies were included, 22 of which were conducted in China, three in the US, one in Korea, one in France and one across multiple international sites with data predominantly collected in the UK. Eight studies did not state the source for information on smoking status. T wenty-five studies reported current and/or former smoking status but had high levels of missing data and/or did not explicitly state whether the remaining participants were never smokers. Notwithstanding these uncertainties, compared with national prevalence estimates, recorded current and

“…What is clear, based on evidence from several countries (and despite media attention to statistically anomalous cases of healthy and younger victims), is that severe outcomes and deaths from COVID-19 are overwhelmingly associated with preexisting (and especially multiple) serious illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease, [14][15][16] more so in men and particularly when exacerbated by obesity and smoking. 17,18 Indeed, it may be that advanced age alone, in the absence of such predisposing conditions, is less of an independent risk factor than has been assumed. Firstly, the elderly are more likely to have chronic illnesses, which confounds the association between outcomes and age.…”
