“Doctor Riccardo Polosa, a Professor of Internal Medicine and specialist of Respiratory Diseases and Clinical Immunology at the University of Catania, was angry when Italy closed all vape shops. He argued that the government’s action to limit the spread of COVID-19 placed lives at risk of tobacco-related harm. Sense has prevailed and the stores have reopened. As a genuine expert in the area of chest infections, Dr Polosa has taken a keen interest in how Italy and the world has responded to the coronovirus (COVID-19) pandemic. He was quick to respond to the Mayor of New York City’s announcement that vaping could increase the risk of contracting the disease: “Where is the evidence? Stop placing smoking and vaping on the same level. Get your facts straight Mayor!””
