According to allergist-immunologist Bidzina Kulumbegov, tobacco consumption is a risk factor for coronavirus infection.
"Ten months after the spread of the pandemic, the world has agreed that smoking is a risk factor. Cigarettes indirectly contribute to the development of various diseases. Smoking is, of course, a risk, and therefore I would like to ask everyone to use this chance - a pandemic and stop using tobacco," Bidzina Kulumbegov told Rustavi 2.
1 759 new coronavirus cases were detected in Georgia during the last day, while 350 patients recovered, and five died.
