Medicinal Purposes Only

[Grangerous]

Wife has Covid and I’m caring for her. As of yet, I’m healthy — It’s been 3 days.

I’m fully vaccinated, all three Pfizer. So aside from extra Zinc and Vitamin C — I’m keeping nicotine levels steady.

I’ve read the studies. I do not care that they are inconclusive. I have nothing to lose. —If nicotine can in fact prevent severe symptoms when I contract Covid — which is very likely, then I’ve got to be proactive. The nicotine studies appear plausible.



As such, I’m enjoying my pipe throughout the day. Medicinal Purposes Only ?

I’ve opened my tin of Briar Fox, I quite like it and the crumble cake format is great!

Crooner has my newfound appreciation. I’m in the “like it”category! Really like this blend! Great burley base and the natural herb sweetness.

I’m now pulling all stops and focusing on the medium to heavy Nic blends.

Old Joe and I are spending some quality time together, as well as Big n Burley and Pegasus and Haunted Bookshop and Burley Flake #2 and digging further into my stores, I have some 5 Brothers and I some Picayune that I obtained without a prescription!

Do you want to know what I’ve learned from all of this?

I’ve learned that GRANGER is absolutely OMG freakin delicious. ?

I have no idea how valid the study is but I smoked 5 to 6 bowls per day while I had Covid and my symptoms are extremely mild. Best wishes for your wife's speedy recovery and your immunity being effective.

The wife and I had COVID last year at Christmas time. What a joyous way to spend the holidays. I wish you and your wife the best and hope that she has a mild case and it will be over soon so she can enjoy the holidays. COVID wouldn't dare effect a Granger smoker. It just isn't natural or proper. God bless.

Please get well soon. I am glad you are vaccinated.

Wishing your wife but speedy recovery.

Hahaha! It’s like Christmas ? for me! Just me, the dog and a “proper fog”

Kidding aside, our Christmas plans have changed. Parties cancelled. Family not coming. I wish everyone well with this pandemic.

Wife is a medical professional. She’s eating and drinking and doing what she knows to do. Has cough, body aches and fever. I’m doing my part.

Thanks for all the well wishes.



Well? Back to work!

Wife and Sister in Law both have the Coof. Me and the boy, negative. I had it last year. I’m acting as husband, brother, daddy, housekeeper, cook, chicken wrangler, dog and cat entertainer and nursemaid. Alas no time to smoke. I feel your pain. Hang in there!

I make sure to retrohale a lot so that the smoke gets into my nasal cavity and kills the virus. I read that nicotine attaches to something called ACE2 receptors. The virus also attaches to those receptors, so if you fill the receptors with nicotine the virus has nowhere to attach to. The virus is then prevented from replicating and dies out.

I got the stuff back before it was even known to be here. I got Covid and thought I had the worst flu ever and wondered about what that covid stuff might or not be like (I thought it was going to be a wash like SARS). I couldn't smoke a pipe but honestly I know I would have had a much worse time if I didn't have nasal snuff. It really helped with the shortness of breath (SOB which is the medical abrev and the irony that it is a real SOB in the casual abrev). And with getting the excessive mucus out.
Take good care of her that way when she's better she'll owe you and also because it's the right thing to do.

Best wishes for your wife's speedy recovery. I had the J&J vaccine and then 2 weeks later got Covid. I slept for a couple of weeks and was back smoking with no losses in taste or smell.

Prayers up, my friend. Wishing your wife a speedy recovery, & you both a merry Christmas. My wife also works in the medical field, & was/is considered essential personnel. So we’ve just been taking it a day at a time since this thing first started. Hang in there.

I’m smoking to protect my lungs.

Only in these upside-down times could this make sense.

I’ve read the same. If nicotine can block the virus while I’m exposed to and caring for a Covid family member…. it’d be foolish not to do so.

Ps. Granger is my Penzance ??

Then smoke 'em if you got 'em...

Take care of yourselves.?

Best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery
Keep it smokey
