The world Health Organisation has chosen the theme “Commit to quit” for World no Tobacco day 2021 because of the reason that Covid pandemic has driven thousands of smokers across the globe to seek help to quit. This is because of the fact that smokers are prone to develop severe complication when they get infected with Covid 19 virus. The claims that smokers are less vulnerable to Covid 19 which appeared in social medias and some journals often come from researchers with conflict of interest with Tobacco Industry and so they have to be taken with pinch of salt. It is unlikely that damaged lungs and weakened immunity which smokers develop, will ever help you to fight other infections better let alone Corona virus. Smokers also have greater chance of transferring virus from hand to mouth as they touch their lips often. Even though the WHO emphasis is on smoking but Chewing of tobacco, Gutka, and paan and is no less dangerous as far as transmission is concerned as indiscriminate spitting in public places, homes could increase the chance of droplet infection and contamination of surfaces. This is extremely dangerous as chewing of tobacco and paan is a favourite pastime of many in Nagaland. The people who use smokeless tobacco often soil their masks and they also remove them frequently thus increasing the chance of contamination. Since Covid 19 cases are going up every day and may not be going away any time soon, it is important that we take all safety measures and also change out attitude towards tobacco which only take your money and give you diseases in return. Tobacco use is bad for all seasons but it could be worst during pandemic like Covid 19.
