Researchers from the University of Nottingham have published a paper titled “Should IQOS Emissions Be Considered as Smoke and Harmful to Health? A Review of the Chemical Evidence.” The researchers conducted a literature review of studies examining emissions from heated tobacco products (HTPs).
Causado por um novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2), o COVID-19 é um doença infecciosa que foi identificada pela primeira vez pela Organização Mundial da Saúde Organização no final de dezembro de 2019. Há uma gama significativa de o espectro da doença COVID-19 - de completamente assintomáticos ou infecção leve à progressão avançada da doença que resulta em morte. Ainda há muito a ser determinado sobre a doença – e o movimento ao longo de seus vários estágios - mas há fortes evidências de que certas populações são particularmente vulneráveis a consequências adversas e que certas condições médicas subjacentes a exacerbam. Fumantes e fumar se enquadram nessas respectivas categorias.

Widespread uptake of vaping has signaled a sea change in the future of nicotine consumption. Vaping has grown in popularity over the past decade, in part propelled by innovations in vape pen design and nicotine flavoring. Teens and young adults have seen the biggest uptake in use of vape pens, which have superseded conventional cigarettes as the preferred modality of nicotine consumption. Relatively little is known, however, about the potential effects of chronic vaping on the respiratory system. Further, the role of vaping as a tool of smoking cessation and tobacco harm reduction remains controversial. The 2019 E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) outbreak highlighted the potential harms of vaping, and the consequences of long term use remain unknown. Here, we review the growing body of literature investigating the impacts of vaping on respiratory health. We review the clinical manifestations of vaping related lung injury, including the EVALI outbreak, as well as the effects of chronic vaping on respiratory health and covid-19 outcomes. We conclude that vaping is not without risk, and that further investigation is required to establish clear public policy guidance and regulation.

100 specialists in nicotine science, policy and practice have come together to call on the 182 parties (countries) to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control to take a more positive stance on tobacco harm reduction. The letter pushes back against WHO’s misguided and unscientific drive for prohibition or excessive regulation and taxation of vaping products, heated and smokeless tobacco products, and novel oral nicotine products, such as pouches.

SARS-CoV-2 epidemics raises a considerable issue of public health at the planetary scale. There is a pressing urgency to find treatments based upon currently available scientific knowledge. Therefore, we tentatively propose a hypothesis which hopefully might ultimately help save lives. Based on the current scientific literature and on new epidemiological data which reveal that current smoking status appears to be a protective factor against the infection by SARS-CoV-2 [1], we hypothesize that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Covid-19 infection and might represent a target for the prevention and control of Covid-19 infection.
