Nicotine and covid 19

[EddieM]

Nicotine AFAIK isn't harmful, however smoke has many many carcinogens in it, not an advisable habit.

Smoking also helps you relax.

not if it makes you worry about lung disease

Conny..you are kidding yourself.Smoking has no positive health benefits...I have never smoked...never catch cold etc...For sure...you would be a damn site fitter if you had never smoked.

yeah, not many people that smoke avoid health problems,of which there are many.

I've never smoked either, I imagine its a hard habit to give up.

...... a WPC lit a fag up and gave it to me.

I thought that the usual way of things was, that the lady gave it to you, then lit up a fag

About 65 carcinogens I believe.

I might consider taking it up again!

As Meat loaf said " I will do anything for love but I won't do that!"

My one is exit only!

Bloody hard. Been packed up about 17 years but I could still have one right now! It’s for that reason I’ve never tried drugs. At all.

70 according to the packets.

Jumping in front of a moving train will also stop you dieing of Covid 19.

Well yes it would

The point is that there may be some substance in tobacco that stops the virus

Nicotine may be????

NO one is saying take up smoking!!!!

 

[durhamplumber]

The point is that there may be some substance in tobacco that stops the virus

Maybe its cyanide!....In the smoke...or carbon monoxide !...or one of the other 60 odd carcinogens

Well it could be

It could be a complete nonsense

But may be the sensable thing to do is to look In to the caper and find out

When I smoked, I hardly ever had the sniffles or any sort of cold/flu illness

Yeah, as a smoker and soon after getting out of bed and spending the morning coughing up mucous and blowing snot out of my nose for the next few hours, I used to wonder why so many people succumb to sniffles too.

Nicotine is bad too, perhaps just not as bad as some of the other chemicals..

Smoking also helps you relax.

My grannie, during WW2 was told to start smoking by her doc, to calm the nerves..

I stopped some six years ago after smoking all of my life, I just made a decision to stop. I had several thousand in stock at the time - Just like falling off a log and I have not fancied one since then in the slightest.

I was so anti smoking and ended up smoking after getting into MDMA, my god the two are made for eachother with music combined heaven. Weened myself off with herbal cigs under a year later. Alcohol used to make me crave nicotine, but wow what an addictive evil thing, but all you need is a bit of mental strength.. and a crave for good health, patches etc are for wimps.

Joints do with the right stuff init
