French researches say they found lower infection rate for smokers among COVID-19 patients than non-smokers. Only five percent of the patients smoke. Now compare that with 25 percent of the general population that smoke regularly.
So why is that?
Well, one explanation they say is that nicotine and the COVID-19 virus bind to the same cell receptors and that nicotine is able to block the virus from attaching itself

5 Vegas is a fine cigar. Don’t have any in my humidor just now, but I would definitely like to try them again.
For health reasons, I’ve had to switch from beer to dry red wine. Not exactly a hardship, when you think about it.

Have you purchased this? I see that a company called Artemilife has created a tea out of sweet wormwood.
Pretty good gar....
I need to order some more....
That's when I found out "fag" meant cigarette to the World War II generation.
and Copenhagen!
Lighting a Arturo Fuente as I type this.
World War I song Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag ——(1915)
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag
And smile, smile, smile,
While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile, boys, that’s the style.
Weeks before the Virus crisis hit, Pelosi and Schumer were in on closed door high security meeting and found that very soon Amazon type deliveries would go to millions of homebound shelter-in-place Americans. So they bought millions more dollars of stock and became even more fabulously wealthy. Gotta love hypocritical insider trading corrupt elite Dems. I guess.
Can we vape now?
Maybe the French are onto something here.
While I have been sending my communiques from World Supreme Headquarters for the past two months, I have also been enjoying a cigar.
In addition to all the good food, vitamins, exercise and sunshine one can get, a little of the old Kodiak chewin’ tobacky, BHT and Artemesia never has been known to hurt a lad in a dystopian apocalyptic flu pandemic era such as our own.
If the vape has nicotine and not THC, I surmise.
Remember, that vaping, was marketed as non-nicotine, and then the pot heads put marijuana THC into the vaping devices, and people started dropping like flies.
Caution: cigarettes contain nicotine ... ok, but what about the smoke? Doe’s that contain any?
Remember back about 15 years ago, the adds on TV calling cigarettes Nicotine Delivery Devices?
Some lawyers got rich. Don’t see that phrase anymore.
So ok, it’s tar, lots of tar. BTW, what’s the primary ingredient in 90+% of the meds in the pharmacy... (that dirty little 3 letter word)
They thought it was THC, and maybe it was, but the killer appears to have been an oily additive, namely Vitamin E, which is fine for oral ingestion, but not for inhalation.
But, that’s just a detail. What would be important would be if nicotine was actually protective against COVID. Wouldnt that get the medical establishment’s knickers in a twist!
What’s the dosage?
Just gave me a flashback to being 9 years at my friend’s house with the telephone book when his mom had gone out for an hour.
The stuff that was killing people was synthetic THC made in China that was marketed in the same wrapper as the stuff they sell in the pot stores.
Phone games were fun back then. Untraceable too, unless you still used a Party Line.
