The toxic effects of smoking are a long-term area of research for toxicologists, and there are hard-core toxicological mechanisms to be discovered and addressed here, such as the role of oxidative stress, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling, and latent inflammatory responses. A possible contribution of high air pollution exposure to disease severity, for instance, due to its pro-inflammatory effects and the respiratory or cardiac damage it causes, was pointed out by Italian researchers, whose data suggest such a link (Fattorini and Regoli 2020) for Northern Italy, or by American and Chinese researchers for California and Wuhan, respectively.
