A pack a day keeps the doctor away.
When this Chinese flu nonsense first started it was reported that in France hospitalization/ death among smokers from the flu was very low compared to non- smokers.
Yea, I've read that and it was an intereting question if the layer covering the lung by the smoke actually keeps the virus away from the cells. I haven't read any further information about this topic, would be interesting.
I'll vouch for a quick recovery, just today. 99.5 temp and I did my best to keep the smoke rising. I also rested for awhile, after getting some daily chores finished and was at 102.5 yesterday.
"Vitamin B3 [niacin (nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid)] has an anti-inflammatory impact, and recent studies show that it can help reduce inflammation in patients with COVID-19 and can even be used as an adjunct therapy."

Nicotinic acid is in nicotine. Been taking it for years. Love the "flush".
Interesting note: Psychotic people are often heavy smokers. B3 can be very useful in treating psychoses.
