COVID-19 is a newly defined pandemic agent. Exposure to cigarette smoke causes increased mucosal inflammation, expression of inflammatory cytokines, impaired mucociliary clearance, and excessive mucus production. Changes in the lungs due to smoking can directly affect the outcome of the disease. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between smoking and the clinical severity of COVID-19. The charts of the patients with positive real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests who received inpatient treatment in COVID-19 clinics between November 2020-April 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups smokers and non-smokers. We compared two groups' age, gender, laboratory parameters, mortality status, and disease severity. We included PCR proven 165 smokers and 351 non-smokers who needed hospitalization. The number of female patients was significantly lower in the smoker group (F/M: 33/132)( p < 0.001). The clinically severe patient rate was higher in the smoker group ( p = 0.005). Although the rate of mortality and patients who need ventilatory support were higher in the smoker group, the differences could not reach statistical significance. This study showed smokers had a more severe COVID-19 course than non-smokers, but the clinical outcome of severe/critical patients was not affected by the smoking status. Therefore, smokers should quit smoking urgently to be affected by the pandemic at a minimum level.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between alcohol use and smoking and psychological resilience in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The sample of this study, in which the relational survey model, one of the quantitative methods, was used, consisted of 398 randomly selected people who participated voluntarily. Personal Information Form, Nicotine Dependence Test, Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test, and Psychological Resilience Scale were used in the research. The findings of the study showed that after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, smoking increased in 40.2% of the participants and alcohol use increased in 34.2%. It is seen that those who stated that smoking increased during the pandemic period had higher nicotine dependence scores (F = 7.758;p <.05). The findings of the study indicate that smoking of alcohol addicts increased significantly during the pandemic period, and alcohol use of those who were smoking addicts increased significantly in the same way. When the total psychological resilience scores were examined, it was determined that those whose smoking did not change and increased during the pandemic period had higher psychological resilience compared to those whose smoking decreased. There was no significant difference in the total psychological resilience scale of the participants according to the effect of alcohol use during the pandemic period. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was seen that psychological resilience predicted nicotine dependence at a rate of 4% and alcohol addiction at a rate of 9%. As a result of the research, it was determined that both the addiction and the psychological resilience of individuals whose nicotine and alcohol use increased during coronavirus disease 2019 period were affected by this.
