Evidently, nicotine protects you from COVID-19...

Please don't spread false rumors like this.

Very strange: the quoted article mentions a study in a French hospital.



In this one, a tobacco addiction specialist doctor in France says "We have to be careful (about that idea) because there are only some American and Chinese studies": francetvinfo.fr/sante/maladie/...5453.html



"C'est un serpent qui se mord la queue" ("A snake biting its own tail" = a vicious circle) 



I have to confess that I smoke for a long time and I'm really scared of being less resistant if the virus invades my lungs.

Like what? That nicotine has been shown to protect against COVID-19? Or my tongue-in-cheek suggestion about smoking when patches would do the trick? Just curious...
