(OP) User ID: 9296373 United States 02/15/2021 09:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 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 |

(OP) User ID: 9296373 United States 02/15/2021 10:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.

Don't be one of those asses who goes around scaring people by openly coughing at them. I cover my mouth when I cough. If you want to be afraid I don't give a shit. It's easy to tell a smoker's cough. It's always the same. It's not at all like a sick cough. When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die?

Quoting: SugarSand 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 We've been over this a million times, smoking limits ACE2 expression. RTFM |

I think maybe all plant smoking counts in this case. Quoting: SugarSand 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 ...? 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79936584 United Kingdom 02/15/2021 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.. |

Perhaps this was known by the scientists that have been tweaking this virus. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78537298 Well..it is mainly because of various lawsuits..but yeah..for sure it is not because they care about people's health. But smoking just like consuming anything else..depends what you eat or smoke. Rubbish or quality stuff. |
