“Our cross-sectional study strongly suggests that those who smoke every day are much less likely to develop a symptomatic or severe infection with Sars-CoV-2 compared with the general population,” the Pitié-Salpêtrière study says. “The effect is significant. It divides the risk by five for ambulatory patients and by four for those admitted to hospital. We rarely see this in medicine.”

Are we grasping at ... er ... cigarettes?

I’d like to see some studies on chocolate or chilled Chardonnay. I’ve heard NZ varieties increase immunity to most things.

I have heard that chewing bubblegum can improve memory. But I have not heard if non smokers receive any benefit from second hand smoke?
