That’s not totally surprising because the effects of smoking on the lungs are. We know that smoking does damage to the elastic tissues of the lungs, which affects their ability to actually ventilate and allow you to breathe, Dr. Melamed explains. It also causes damage to the cilia, the little hairlike projections that line and help clean the lungs, which makes it harder for them to get rid of particles you breathe in normally that can cause further issues.
And even in the short-term, “you could imagine that if smoking cigarettes or marijuana was leading to any sort of lung damage or predisposing you to lung injury, that would put you at some increased risk of poor outcomes if infected with coronavirus,” Dr. Melamed says. But, again, our understanding of how this might affect your risk for severe COVID-19 symptoms is still developing.
