“Electronic cigarettes are unlikely the cause of the COVID-19 pneumonia, Chinese experts said, while the true origin of the virus that has killed more than 2,800 people remains unclear. “The electronic cigarettes are hardly related to the virus. It is not likely to be the reason that caused the COVID-19 deaths,” Zhou Zijun, a professor at Peking University’s School of Public Health, told the Global Times on Saturday. Some online self-media have been connecting the COVID-19 epidemic to the rise in e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) in the US late last year.”
