CDC Coronavirus (COIVD-19) and Smoking Update.

The
CDC has updated its CDC Coronavirus (COVID-19) webpages on October 6, 2020 to
reflect recent data supporting increased risk of severe illness from the virus
that causes COVID-19 among adults with COVID-19 who have obesity, who are
overweight, or who smoke or have a history of smoking. These revisions also
make the document more explicit about data and implications for adults and for
children. The listed underlying medical conditions in children were also
revised to indicate that these conditions might increase risk to better reflect the
quality of available data currently. This reflects the fact that there are less
data available for children and does not imply that children are not at risk.
