“There were studies that said smoking prevented COVID-19.”

Actually there is some pretty solid data on this. I copied it, have it somewhere... It seems that Covid competes with some of the same receptors as nicotine. And that smokers are much less likely to be represented in Covid infections and associated hospitalization. By a pretty big percentage if I remember right.
