Smokers face a greater risk of coronavirus and put their loved ones at risk, according to a stark warning from Public Health England.
Health chiefs said there has 'never been a more important time' to quit the habit than now because of the ever-worsening outbreak in Britain.
PHE also claimed family, including children, will also be at a higher risk of serious COVID-19 complications, as a result of inhaling secondhand smoke.
They based their advice on a 'small but impactful' study in China, which suggests smokers are more likely to see their disease progress.
