A woman I know smokes and just recovered from covid. She said the worst part for her was all the nasty, super sticky phlegm she had to force coughing up.

She does not drink alcohol though...


And she is our bartender, and the only person in the establishment that came down with it so far, and we've been going there daily all through this mess. Heading there right now actually
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80048186


Yeah but she recovered. She didn't die in a hospital.
When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die? Not me, my dear one - THIS IS MY SACRED LIFE - to no one nor no thing I'll surrender. For how does one know where when dead she will go, or if sweet Mother Earth he'll remember? - Sug

Re: Hairdresser intel: smokers don't catch covid
I'm guessing it has to do with the slime coat in smokers' lungs. this is probably true for all smoking, and I'll bet the number of stealth weed smokers around explains a lot.

My dad worked in a glass factory and got checked every year for silicosis ... Every year his lungs were clear and younger guys had damage. He credited the smoking.

I'm not saying it's good - he dropped dead of a heart attack work aged 62, clear lungs notwithstanding.

No one I know who currently smokes has been hospitalized. I've known about 20 or 30 people who caught it, 5 who were hospitalized and 2 died.

Even my older relatives. I have a few in their 70s still smoking, but my non-smoking aunt was in the hospital.

The non-smokers who had to go in the hospital were all quite chubby. It's hard to find an old, fat smoker. I'm not sure such a creature exists.

Re: Hairdresser intel: smokers don't catch covid
So, I was at the salon this morning.

Masked hardresser ... old friend ... decades long hairdresser ... she used to have her own shop which was like a TV barber shop with the gossip and such but now we're at a new salon so she's whispering in my ear ...

she said: All the nurses say smokers don't get covid. They all started smoking again. They say all of those people on ventilators are non-smokers, and they haven't had smokers dying.

I said: you quit smoking 15 years ago ...

she said: I know you probably still smoke American Spirits ... you always did. That's what they said to smoke. I started again.



that really happened

You're right. There have been studies saying that since last spring.

But it's becoming a folk remedy. To me, that's the interesting part.

Re: Hairdresser intel: smokers don't catch covid
Nicotine is a pesticide. I'm sure all plants produce various pesticides. I think maybe all plant smoking counts in this case.

Covid is like ... gimme fresh clean lungs.

It might explain why this sudden drop in cases ... everyone who would get it did ... the rest ... their lungs are inhospitable ...?
 Quoting: SugarSand


I remember a year ago when this C19 hit and people were saying smokers had some kind of protection.
The tar in cigarettes and in pot line the lungs.
The C19 really wants to settle in our lungs but somehow the tar keeps it at bay.
That’s my take, and I haven’t got c19 and I smoke both.

hf hugs I understand.

I smoke very judiciously. I'm one of those people who always wants to quit. I smoke no more than 5 a day. Usually - 3 or 4 ... but I smoke American Spirits that can be put out or they just die and you can relight them. So, I usually smoke a half a cig, 6-10 times a day.

I started this way in the 90s ... after smoking unabashed for a few years. I've been on the gum for months at a time, then I start again.

I feel like I smoke VERY LITTLE. But I still smoke daily. As much as I'd like that to not be true, it is.

If I was a microorganism, I'd find better lungs to inhabit than mine.

Re: Hairdresser intel: smokers don't catch covid
Way back doctors promoted smoking for good health, perhaps they had today in mind and a crystal ball for the future.

Those who directed the pandemic also knew this. Their plan is older than 5 years old.

Re: Hairdresser intel: smokers don't catch covid
Lung cancer isnt good. The crackling sound sounds like a supposed covid patient. This were my Mum a couple nights ago but it took her quick. She had the strength to say hello. Tony, with a wave. Last thing she said to me. Everyone was saying she might pull through to feel better. I went outide to smoke. Then kind of aunty rushed out to say shes going. Got back and she were gone. Minutes. So I wondered why I missed it ( although I might have got worse anxiety )

But there were a track in cd player of car. Didnt know she liked her. Throughout week I kept wondering why radio station kept playing same song but it were a cd. Amy Winehouse

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

she had a tear left on her body. I think the lyrics sum up the moment for sure.

I still smoke for now. Not telling you what to do..
