Medicinal Purposes Only

[jpmcwjr]

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.

Of course. But the question was aimed at where those specific quotes came from.

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.

Good to hear! Keep on truckin'!

Interesting and where is the parent company located?

We have a rotating staff of engineers, IT, and management expatriates from several Asian countries.

There were a few reports in the British press about smokers being less susceptible, but they went away pretty quickly (unsurprisingly).

My Dad grew up on a tobacco farm in Cyprus. Whenever someone had the flu, they'd give them a home grown cigarette as a remedy. My Dad's first smoke was when he was 3 years old, and I've found most of the traditional family recipes (avgolemoni soup and Zivania, basically) work for most things, so please give Mrs Grangerous some lemon soup, some booze, a pipe and my best wishes.

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. ?

Pray your wife feels better quick and you stay well!

Anecdote being the singular of data, I had covid in july and on the evening of the 4th day I was feeling awful and loaded up my peterson house pipe and spent the next three hours on the porch thoroughly enjoying my medicine. woke up the next morning and I felt fine. went and got re-tested and it came back negative. Unfortunately I don't remember whether it was capstan blue or mcconnell's original oriental. so you may have to smoke both to be sure.

Now if only they’d find out that alcohol is prophylactic then I’d be all set.

The tobacco will do more for you than the vaccines.

I have an elderly and presumably senile relative who was hospitalized with covid early on. After a few days in the hospital he escaped and made his way home. They found him in his backyard smoking cigars, so they took him back to the hospital. The next morning he woke up covid-free and was subsequently discharged.

@Grangerous stay well, all the best for the Mrs too!

@Rustamgtx sorry to also hear, get well!

@goldenmole be well too!

Happy Holidays to you three!

P.S. They need to take @jiminks in for a study, smoking 15 bowls a day, that boy is well pickled against anything! LOL ?

 

[tzinc]

Omnichrome has me up to 3 bowls a day.

Me too. ?

Best wishes for your missus, @Grangerous , but who are we kidding..
Anybody who shares the same atmosphere as a Burley smoker is halfway to immortality.

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!!!

See here.

"Compared with never smokers, current smokers appear to be at reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection..."
