Without getting into anything political, I had a co-worker who was sick with something before we all had heard of COVID. He went to work every day and, wow, he was not well. Be careful, people. In the meantime, it's nice to know my bowl of Quiet Nights is medicinal.

Prayerful hopes for patient and caretaker. Early in the pandemic, I heard about the possibility that nicotine was a preventative. I was dubious, but thought it could be true. I still don't know, but hope it is so. We've been hermits and stayed masked, and still don't feel especially self-assured, with several vulnerabilities between us. We immediately did all the recommended vacs and booster, without question -- at our age, with our medical charts. I wish safety for all.

Everyone in my factory came down with something in December 2019 that lasted for a month. At the time doctors were calling it a non specific viral infection. It was later found that we had coronavirus antibodies.
that was the scariest part of it. Like almost everyone I worked with during that time came down with something that fast.

Normally I say it is best to listen to your doctor (he may be wrong every once in a while but he will be a hell of a lot more often you). But you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere, And where I draw is on smoking cigar and pipes. I'll be smoking one cigar and two pipes bowls a day per my personal physcian Dr. Myself.

I know the study is not peer reviewed,but isnt it strange how there has been no publicity.loads of other things re covid , true or false are everywhere on the interweb
Its as if they dont want to encourage smoking.
considering how we are always told its so bad for us.:)

Is there a handy source for the quoted material?

In addition to it's, we can have hi's, her's and their's!!!

Help stamp out repetition, gratuitous apostrophe's, and NEEDLESS, redundant, and UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION, **along with** superfluous *EMPHASIS*. And tautological statements which waste space and can be repetitive or even wordy in and of themselves.

These are *THE* internet *SCOURGES'*, along with exclamation point's!!!

All the best! I got it 10 days ago, then my two girls, now my wife. All vaccinated. Kids with almost no symptoms. What really sucks is that I have to cancel my trip to Switzerland, so instead of the view below (literally), I get the other one! On smoking pipe: had the whole "sense of smell gone for a week" thing going, so no smoking for me.beat.jpgvestam.jpg

Jpmcwjr,
I Googled Covid / Nicotine and the page filled up with sites. — I don’t pretend to understand what I’d read. I smoke burley scraps. But the hypothesis is plausible and the jury still out.

BTW — I tested negative this morning. Wife feeling a bit better and Im happily puffin away with an elated toothy grin. We seem to be doing everything right.

First of all, stay well and may your wife get well better very soon.

Its interesting that others have this hypothesis as well about nicotine interacting with COVID infections. I had this thought early last year myself where I noticed nicotine users were not getting infected nearly as much (in my area) as non users.
