On today's podcast, Dr. Fred Buckhold, a SLU Care general internist at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital is joined by Matt Meyers, president of Tobacco-Free Kids.
Meyers says coronavirus attacks the lungs -- and anything that impacts your lungs causes you great risk when it comes to coronavirus.
He says smokers and former smokers are at greater risk of the most serious consequences of COVID-19. Vaping is also a big concern.
Meyers says parents need to sit down with their kids and tell them how dangerous vaping is to the lungs and you should stop it right away. It puts your child at risk and everyone else in the family.
