>French researchers are planning to test nicotine patches on coronavirus patients and frontline health workers after a study suggested smokers may be much less at risk of contracting the virus.
>The study at a major Paris hospital suggests a substance in tobacco – possibly nicotine – may be stopping patients who smoke from catching Covid-19. Clinical trials of nicotine patches are awaiting the approval of the country’s health authorities.
>The results confirm a Chinese study published at the end of March in the New England Journal of Medicine that suggested only 12.6% of 1,000 people infected with the virus were smokers while the number of smokers in China is around 28%.
>In France, figures from Paris hospitals showed that of 11,000 patients admitted to hospital with Covid-19, 8.5% were smokers. The total number of smokers in France is estimated at around 25.4%.

Its nicotine. Why not just load them up on vitamin B?

Smoking is a temporary anti inflammatory for the airways and lungs. Nicotine doesn't do anything.

If it was only China making the observation, I would have disregarded it as a mistake in their manufactured data. Maybe it's time for me to take up smoking.
yeah nicotine fags are retarded. i've been smoking heaps of ganja since all of this happened and have been feeling irie and healthy. now go eat an orange and wash your hands and light up a fatty.
Jack Perry
i have been counter-spamming for the past 2 months that its not cigarettes, or smoking, but nicotine.. please, JIDF, enough already
>french of course its french, they keep smoking like turks

>alveoli get coated in tar >virus cannot get to alveoli
Seems to make sense. I'd still choose to have lungs not coated in tar though.

You fucking low IQ normie. Why haven't you done even basic research into what is already known clinically regarding pathomechanism of SARS-CoV2?
SARS-CoV2 mortality is significantly increased in smokers due to nACHr (nicotine receptors) upregulated ACE2 receptor expression and other not yet fully known mechanisms.
Which increases your probability of acquiring more severe symptoms and ending up in ARDS, the condition that results in you ending up in a ventilator. Severe ARDS almost always results in respiratory acidosis where your blood literally turns into acid because the alveolar gas exchange can't take place due to oedema, so the CO2 diffuses through oedema liquid and turns into carbonid acid which starts circulating into your blood shutting down all your organs. This is literally the prime cause of death in all COVID cases.
SARS-CoV2 binds to the ACE2 receptors in your lower airways specifically the bronchioles where it induces ARDS. Smokers have more ACE2 receptors due to smoking and the more ACE2 receptors you have quantitatively, the more severe clinical manifestation you have. Once you go into ARDS your mortality is 40% within one month and once you end up on a ventilator or respirator your chance of dying increases to around 60%. Factors like age and overall health conditions like comorbidities increase mortality rate.
For any non white dumbfuck subhuman niggers too dumb to understand this:
Smoking increases your chance of dying. Maybe nicotine can help it, but smoking will surely increase your chance of death.

>If it was only China making the observation, I would have disregarded it as a mistake in their manufactured data. Maybe it's time for me to take up smoking. Interesting anecdotal reports but I wouldn't be grabbing the pack just yet. It's important to have strong lungs, not to mention cigarettes come with their own issues. Might as well get nicorette or patches instead.

> In the study that two of us are reporting [1], the rates of current smoking remain below 5 % even when main confounders for tobacco consumption, i.e. age and sex, in- or outpatient status, were considered. Compared to the French general population, the Covid-19 population exhibited a significantly weaker current daily smoker rate by 80.3 % for outpatients and by 75.4 % for inpatients.
>Thus, current smoking status appears to be a protective factor against the infection by SARS-CoV-2.
what about heavy smokers AND alcoholics? asking for a friend

I know of a case of an old man who smoked unfiltered domestic tobacco and got lung cancer and the cancer literally could not spread due to tar build up

Wow, so all that nicotine patches I bought for lucid dreaming myself as a girl getting fucked every night will actually save my life. Awesome
I can't go back to smoking the garbage I used to smoke after this tbqhwy

>Huang et al.11 studied the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 among 41 patients. In this study, none of those who needed to be admitted to an ICU (n=13) was a current smoker. lmao. Fuck off idiot

user, why would you use plastic to process something you are going to smoke? seems like a cancer overdrive. t. 3d printer owner

Wasn’t it Vitamin E acetate that was killing vapers? I don’t think any vitamins survive the combustion process of smoking. Maybe however you could impregnate the filters, but I have no idea what would do to the taste. Who wants to smoke cod liver oil?
Chase Hill
It’s a catch 22 user. If nicotine can PREVENT the virus from effecting you, then you more than likely won’t have to worry about the virus wreaking havoc upon your destroyed lungs.
Christian King
smoking protects your lungs with a film of tar and alcohol disinfects your whole body. you friend is pretty save bro
Austin Johnson
Thats absurd and would imply China a chainsmoker country would end up with only like 4000 or 5000 deaths max instead of billions of deaths as Trump confirmed is the true deathtoll
Ethan Jenkins
Infection doesn't mean mortality though

Somebody post the link from last night about PG/VG vapor killing airborne viruses

tar in cigaretts cause your ateries to become inflamed and the natural response to this is the waxy film known as plaque to coat the interior lining of blood vessels and blocking your arterties. nicotine however is like caffiene and can inflame your blood vessels if you have current heart or vascular disease but in general it can dialate vessels in healthy people gving them a lift of energy while supressing food cravings. this boost of energy wont be a cure for anything but may help. smoking will not.
