| Sumario: | As evidence continues to emerge, our understanding of the relationship between smoking and COVID-19 prognosis is steadily growing.

In this commentary, we discuss some of the latest evidence on smoking and COVID-19 and emphasise the need to promote the personal and public advantages of smoking cessation during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
