If they all started smoking again would they still be sheep? Uh no, because there's no massive propaganda campaign which has been going on for decades to tell them to smoke. Smokers these days are the true mavericks.  Anti-smokers are paranoid and irrational. This thread shows that. Oh yes, “the other people” tend to be like that.

My side is not trying to tell anybody what to do, as your great little propaganda piece in the OP shows.

GameBoy knows best and all the other people are weak minded sheep. It’s like you don’t even know when you are doing this thing.

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.
It’s not about quitting smoking to “not” catch it, but more about coping with the symptoms if one does does get it. Did that smaller percentage of smokers in France who tested positive have a harder time shaking it off? What were the symptoms? Were some extreme, were some mild, were some asymptomatic, were there other underlying health issues? Now grow up Gamey and accept that you are fighting a losing battle with your own arrogance. It’s bordering on cretinous and the irony is that those that smoke and have bad chests DO need to be extra cautious.

A little more modesty might suit you better Gamey.

Of course you’re not part of my sanctimonious cult, you are to busy being blind to the bulls<>t that you peddle and justifying every reason why others should buy into it, which is preposterous by the way, so as to keep your smoking addiction intact. If others have more discipline and personal fortitude than you by quitting, regardless of their reason, then perhaps take onus for your own condemnation of those that have seen a positive call in wake of the pandemic.

I don't condemn quitters. I just say it's silly to quit now. Wait 6 months.

I don't condemn quitters. I just say it's silly to quit now. Wait 6 months. You are condemning quitters: What, wait 6 months to still have the SAME health issues and warnings attributed to tobacco smoking? If there is no conclusive evidence to your argument of scientific data you appear adamant to cling to by six months, should they continue to smoke even if they still want to give up? Covid or no Covid it is not going to make a darn bit of difference to the "foolishness" of smoking and yet to you, others are the fools for quitting now. Your subterfuge projection is encouraging smokers to continue because you can't give up so they're the ones with the problem.......
