New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is reportedly
considering a six-week ban on combustible cigarettes to reduce the
state’s coronavirus death rate, according to The Buffalo Chronicle sources.
The ban could come as soon as tomorrow as part of the planned budget measure announcement.
Italy’s National Health Institute found that
smokers with coronavirus were one-third more likely to be in serious
condition, with half requiring a ventilator.
Former smokers regain 30% of their lung function
within two weeks of quitting. The timing would align with when New York
expects coronavirus cases to peak in a state that’s already struggling
to find enough ventilators.
