I refuse to live in fear, and will continue to go where I want to go and do what I want to do

Yet you sheepishly use the term "take the jab".

Somehow I doubt you came up with that yourself.
Jab indeed.

There was an article about this last year where doctors were wearing nicotine patches

I think they didn’t find that helped them.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Oh, well I will start smoking again then.

Is it still $2.00 for a pack of cigarettes?

[Leep]

For 4 cigarettes.

The price of cigarettes varies wildly by country and by state.

After smoking 40+ years myself, I would consider hooked a good descriptor.

[SaxxonWoods]

“For 4 cigarettes.”

Get them on the corner from the stoned guy who says he can’t breathe.

I have heard that smokers are immune to anthrax also?
My theory is that the crud buildup in the lungs makes it more difficult for the virus to find the path it needs for infection.

Yup—when you really follow the science (and ignore peer pressure and “experts”) you find out lots of interesting stuff.

In many cases publishing it can get you fired or ineligible for government grants during your lifetime.

That's the left/commie/fascist way. The leftist "truth" can be so wrong, but if you do not adhere to it, one is canceled.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

What about vapers? Does it have to be cigarettes for your health?

[joelt]

smoke em if you gottem.

[monkeyshine]

Is it the nicotine? Or something else? Maybe inhaling hot smoke kills the virus in the lungs? I remember during the Clinton era hearings it was disclosed they put ammonia in cigarette tobacco during processing. Not sure if they still do but makes me wonder what could be neutralizing the virus.

[cgbg]

Cigarettes have a whole bunch of chemicals in them.

Good luck figuring out all the different impacts on health.

Real science is very difficult.

“Science” propaganda is easy.

Pick a disease. See if it occurs more among people who smoke or don’t. That’s a good start.

[butlerweave]

What chemical in the cigarette is doing it ?

[hoe_cake]

‘Or to get a leftist really mad, is to say hooked on bikes and birkenstocks.’

Or Pot? Vegan, vegetarian, tree hugging, ‘Save The World causes’.

Good point.

Myopic thinking, those folks.

We'd not have the trash of abandoned masks, plastic bottles, cardboard boxes from IKEA because they want ‘green’ rather than going to Goodwill or Salvation Army. Or the massive amounts of trash in Seattle in homeless shelters.

Every where these folks go, they leave a trail of mess. It defies reason.

[hoe_cake]

geez

[Karoo]

Never go back to smoking. NEVER. I’m convinced it will give you cancer.
