35% of French people are smokers. 5% of French corona virus patients are smokers. Do the math. If I don't have the damn plague, now is not the time to quit smoking.

That is just a blind and absurd excuse to decide "not" to quit smoking. Health issues associated with smoking go way before and beyond corona virus.

No it isn't. Sure, long term smoking causes all sorts of health problems. So of course it's best to quit smoking LONG TERM.

But short term, right now, if you want to avoid the corona virus? Sorry, now is not the time to quit.

If you smoke for the next year, you're probably not gonna develop any smoking related illness which you haven't acquired already. But you have a better chance of avoiding the risk of misery and dying from corona virus NOW. So WTF would a smoker quit right NOW?

I thought you're an atheist, Toasty? Why are you in this quasi-religious cult of irrational anti-smoking?

Sorry, the whole stupidity of the title of this thread says it all. Fools who have smoked for years are quitting smoking NOW because the idiots think that protects them from the corona virus. Research shows the opposite might be true!

It would make more sense if it said: CORONA VIRUS: PEOPLE START SMOKING IN HIGHEST NUMBERS IN A DECADE. That would make more sense. But people are sheep, idiotic sheep. Maybe these people deserve to die of sheer stupidity?
