A survey of cigar smokers by UNC Lineberger's Sarah Kowitt PhD, MPH, and her colleagues found that although the majority responded they intended to quit smoking due to concerns about elevated health risks if they contracted COVID-19, more than twice as many reported they increased rather than decreased their tobacco use since the pandemic's onset.
