The Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) has demanded that all terraces of bars and restaurants, beaches, open-air shows and private cars become smoke-free spaces and has warned that tobacco consumption increases the possibility of contagion of the coronavirus. .
In a statement, the Tobacco Working Group of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) proposes expanding smoke-free spaces to protect the population from tobacco smoke and warns that tobacco consumption in outdoor spaces puts at risk both smokers and non-smokers from becoming infected with Covid-19.
It explains, in this sense, that smokers who are infected Country Email List and asymptomatic can emit water droplets with SARS-CoV-2 virus, putting the rest of the population at risk.
The SEE recognizes that anti-smoking laws have managed to significantly reduce exposure to smoke, but recommends taking a step further in tobacco control to reduce the high burden of morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco consumption and exposure to smoke.
Consider that there are still spaces, both indoors and outdoors, not regulated by law in which smoke levels are high, which entails significant health risks for smokers and those around them, especially minors.
The Government is working on the implementation of new anti-smoking regulations that contemplate raising taxes and equating vaping with traditional cigarettes.
In fact, it states that 80% of establishments break the law by allowing smoking on covered terraces with two or more enclosures and assures that in these cases, the concentration of nicotine and particles can exceed the levels found in indoor spaces when smoking was allowed.
Currently, the Government is working on the implementation of new anti-smoking regulations that contemplate raising taxes and equating vaping with traditional cigarettes to also prohibit its use in spaces where smoking is now not allowed.
