Vaping is linked to a significant increase in Covid-19 risk among teenagers and young adults, according to a new study

"Young people may believe their age protects them from contracting the virus or that they will not experience symptoms of Covid-19, but the data show this isn't true among those who vape," said lead author, Shivani Mathur Gaiha.

The study’s results – which were adjusted for confounding factors like age, sex, compliance with shelter-in-place orders, rate of Covid-19 diagnosis in the states the participants live etc. – showed that young people who had used both e-cigarettes and cigarettes in the previous 30 days were almost seven times more likely to be diagnosed with the disease.

“Because EVALI and Covid-19 signs and symptoms can be similar , health care providers should maintain clinical suspicion for EVALI during the COVID-19 pandemic,” wrote researchers in the This may explain why they were also more likely to receive COVID-19 testing, said Halpern-Felsher, especially given that in May, many regions limited COVID-19 testing to people with symptoms.

to me the wording was suggested of science. but i think they just gathered up some stats to show the thing they wanted. i'd of liked to have read an article about laboratory experiments about vape & nicotine and sars cov 2. with sciency photos and science about any relationship

there's probably some bias and more connected to behavioral patterns than the actual vape, or nicotine content. some of the science things i used to follow used to published some total bs conclusions. vape and hash and all things covid related are very popular targets.
