Yeah this was quite some time ago so idk if they ever figured it out but the numbers from China and then France showed smokers coming into hospitals at way lower rates. The numbers were so strong that France ended up running a study where they had people use nicotine patches because they were speculating that it could have been nicotine having some effect on the ACE 2 receptor or something. But I never followed it closely so idk what happened with that.
I'm pretty certain that smokers were among the first people eligible for the vaccine so i figured it would make it more likely for you to die from covid
weird
