Bloomberg reports the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “modified its stance on COVID-19 and vaping, saying it has an unknown effect on the risk” of the disease, “while warning that smoking can create worse outcomes.” Alison Hunt said, “Cigarette smoking causes heart and lung diseases, suppresses the immune system, and increases the risk of respiratory infections. People who smoke cigarettes may be at increased risk from COVID-19, and may have worse outcomes from COVID-19.”
