Results: The outcome results identified that, among our study shows that among post COVID tobacco users, 15(100%) had abnormal forced vital capacity, 12(80%) had severe forced expiratory volume, 10(66.7%) had severe Fev1\FVC and 14(93.3%) had abnormal forced expiratory flow. Whereas among the post COVID non-tobacco users, 14(93.3%) had normal forced vital capacity, 12(80%) had normal forced expiratory volume, 11(73.3%) had normal Fev1\FVC and 12(80%) had normal forced expiratory flow. Conclusion: This study assessed there was significant difference in the level of post COVID respiratory status among the tobacco and non-tobacco users.
