Vaping is linked to a significant increase in Covid-19 risk among teenagers and young adults, according to a new study.
Since March, experts have been speculating that vaping might be the reason more young people are getting ill than health experts predicted, however, this new study, published the Journal of Adolescent Health, is the first to examine the connection between youth vaping and Covid-19.
Among the young people who were tested for Covid-19, researchers from Stanford University found that those who used e-cigarettes were five to seven times more likely to be infected than those who didn’t vape.
