At least it aids in social distancing from the stench.

It’s easy to how smoking,as well as other lung issues,would make one a candidate for trouble here.

A team at Imperial College London

Did the study have a centerfold or an NC-17 rating?

I read about a study done in China in early March: This virus attacks the lungs vigorously - as far as China is concerned, 51% or 52% of the males smoke cigarettes and only 3% of females in China smoke cigarettes. That was a study done there as to why so many more males than females died.

But not if the smoker wears a mask when he smokes.

That’s cause you can’t wear a mask and smoke at the same time...

(Unless you poke a little hole in the mask)

There is a little bit of evidence that nicotine may help prevent COVID, not smoking but nicotine as in a patch or gum. Probably less chance than Ivomectin (de-wormer)working but it’s there.

Kudos to you. Little totalitarians exist everywhere, even on FR. When I smoked, I was in an elevator and a man said “you smoke, I can smell the stink!” I replied yes, and you had a bowel movement this morning. He shut up.

Life style of smokers may be a factor as well. It ain’t all just the smoking. It is an excuse for the virtue signaling do-gooding busy bodies to say “see?”

But experts have already stated that nicotine prevents infection/kills the covid-19 virus.

Must be a case of Thursday’s experts out expert other day’s experts.
