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.
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!
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.
