Yes, I know you aren't really blowing smoke in people's faces, I just thought maybe you thought I was being sarcastic. I don't buy that smoking protects against the virus and even the articles about it say there is no conclusive evidence. Sorry, I'm a militant smoker and I believe the anti-smoking crusade has become a self-righteous pseudo-religious campaign of bitching, whining, and Prohibition. That being said, I know smoking is unhealthy and it's best to quit.
I'm not sure if it's conclusive or not that smoking inhibits the virus. But I do know if it is true there are forces in the healthcare industry which will do everything in their power to suppress any information. I just found the studies in favor of nicotine to be so deliciously ironic.  I have no issue with any of what you say here. I have come across those people who do that annoyingly passive aggressive fake cough when they walk by a smoker. I agree it would be hilariously ironic if true. |

The same people who pretend that a second-hand waft of a burning plant leaf in the wind will kill them, think nothing of ingesting toxic exhaust fumes from automobiles. |

My brother-in-law smokes some brand called American Spirit. It's a holistic all-natural pure tobacco cigarette, no additional toxic chemicals used in processing. He swears it's healthy. I'm not that much of a militant smoker to agree with him on that though. I still plan longterm plan to quit. |

There have been health issues surrounding vaping in the US but these appear to be linked to young people using unregulated products. It would be more healthy if nicotine coated thumb sucking became cool. |

That also gets a mention in the BBC article... Anti-smoking has become almost a religious cult belief at this point. Sure, there is no final word on whether or not nicotine kills covid on contact. But the anti-smoking cabal is scrambling to make sure it doesn't. Lol!
Once one catches any respiratory infection of course smoking is going to make it worse. If you get it, obviously, you quit smoking. But is nicotine preventative? It may be. People may be fools to quit now until we learn more. Obvious to whom? You can quit anytime you like Gamey. |

Do the math. If I don't have the damn plague, now is not the time to quit smoking.  |

Seriously though, these nicotine & corona virus studies are food for thought. |

Health issues associated with smoking go way before and beyond corona virus. |

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?

But if nicotine possibly kills the virus on contact, I wouldn't be one of the sheeple hysterically quitting right now.
If the France study is correct, smoking may reduce your chances of catching this virus 7 times that of nonsmokers. For now at least, I'm gonna keep on puffin' away! Lol at idiots rushing to quit right now. |

Tosh Piffle Waffle & Nonsense Gamey. If you don’t want to give up smoking, fine, that is your prerogative. Just don’t give me ridiculous and asinine excuses and reasons as to why you wont give up. To me, I see that as masking your denial of addiction to smoking, be it for a fix or just to relieve the boredom.... |

Your irrational hatred of smoking when studies show it might kill the corona virus is religious extremism.
I'll go with science over religion on this one, thank you very much. |

Lol at idiots rushing to quit right now. " style="max-width:100%;"] Maybe it was just the way you said it's best to "quit smoking long term" since "long term smoking" is bad for you. Something about that just doesn't work right. I'm glad the world gave you a possibly valid reason to put quitting on the back burner, but you might want to wait on the jury before preaching about the health benefits of smoking during a pandemic that attacks the lungs specifically. If it's the nicotine that fights it, smoking wouldn't be necessary and you have to find another excuse. And you will. Because you don't have the proper mindset to quit. |
