Coronavirus is a family of viruses that causes several respiratory infections in humans and animals ranging from mild cough and cold to more dangerous diseases like the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). There might be different kinds of it, but the most recently found coronavirus disease is COVID-19.

A slight or more, Smokers and Tabaco users have already vulnerable to lung diseases, they have reduced lung capacity that consequently increases the risk of  COVID-19 infection rather than one who doesn’t smoke. In fact, the conditions which reduce lung capacity and make body increasing need of oxygen put the patient vulnerable to lung disease such as Pneumonia.

Furthermore, smokers and Tabaco users frequently touch their lips with fingers and a contaminated cigarette (possibly) that would increase the risk of contamination.

Coronavirus can infect persons of any age, but the chances of recovery in young people are more than the people of older age. Also, people who have pre-existing medical conditions (such as high blood pressure, heart and lung disease, cancer or diabetes) are more likely to have a severe effect of this virus. However, the study is still going on about COVID-2019 that how it affects people.

Though many countries have claimed to have been developed vaccines, yet there is no any for widespread use. Possible drugs and vaccines are on trial and yet take time to be available for general public use. Those who have symptoms should be isolated and hospitalized if one has severe respiratory problems. For now, the most effective way to protect ourselves or others against COVID-19 is cleaning hands frequently and covering cough with a mask, elbow or tissue, and maintaining distance at least 3 feet from the people who are sneezing or coughing.

There is no data yet that pets can also spread the virus when contacted with the infected person. However, the researcher can’t rule out the possibility, so the best way to protect ourselves is to maintain distance, wash hands frequently, cover mouth and face.
