Article Synopsis

The study analyzed data from over 104,000 COVID-19 patients to understand the impact of smoking status, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), and vaccination on severe outcomes like death and ICU admission.
Both current and never smokers had similar outcomes, but former smokers experienced higher risks of death and ICU admission.
Current smokers receiving NRT had reduced mortality rates, and vaccination was more effective in lowering mortality for current and former smokers compared to never smokers.
