Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted April 26, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 Probably because people are avoiding smokers thinking they have it already by the coughing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted April 26, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 26, 2020 As with most everything about this virus, there is a lot of conflicting info about how smoking may or may not have an affect on the outcomes.....I guess keep on puffing if you think its somehow good for you ..https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/coronavirus-and-smoking-how-do-cigarettes-pot-and-vaping-affect-infections-and-outcomes/ar-BB1378Bn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy posted a link on facebook reading that smokers/vapers, because their lungs are coated, are less likely to catch it and die like your link above proves. I read some of it but thought, based on what I have always been told about smoking, that it is likely some sort of an onion/fake news piece so I didn't give it much thought. Might have to dig it up and read it fully this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the extent of my knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they are just listing the outcomes for severe respiratory responses from those infected with underlying conditions, which includes smokers. Doesn't mean smoking prevents one from contracting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean smoking prevents one from contracting it? I think the whole point is that at the beginning smoking was considered to be a high risk. Of the 12,000 who identified as positive, it does seem odd only 1.3%. It absolutely does not mean it prevents it, it means it it worth looking into when you get an anomaly like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another example of how incompetent the medical establishment has been on this shit. CDC/WHO: most who are dying are old smokers. CDC/WHO: smoking may prevent the CV.

mtnloverxtreme2 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 the same was reported when SARS hit toronto (ya, i know, too many there survived). was reported and then went away because a govt official was worried people would start smoking. lol. and being a similiar virus, makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
