Stop behaving like a programmed automaton and adapt to survive. 35% to 5% are compelling numbers. If you're healthy now your risk of dying of lung cancer in the next 6 months is nil. But your risk of catching corona virus is probably better than 50%.

I repeat...

A) Quitting smoking is ALWAYS a good idea. ALWAYS! Pandemic or not.

B) Those studies only state percentages. They make no conclusions about health. You're drawing your own conclusions.

My being an automaton, or not, doesn't change that.

Sure, two studies are not conclusive. However, it would be great irony if the sheep in the OP quit smoking to avoid COVID and then got COVID because they stopped smoking.

I know Toasted Cheese is too self-righteous to get it. But the irony would be hilarious.
