Efficacy of Nicotine in Preventing COVID-19 Infection (NICOVID-PREV)
Daily active smokers are infrequent among outpatients or hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Several arguments suggest that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR).
Nicotine may inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and have a prophylactic effect in COVID-19 infection.
You don't have to smoke it, just can use a lozenge.
Cigarettes - check; cannabis (in all of its forms) - check; best health of my life so far - check. Masks, obsessive with sanitizers, tests, vaccs - fuck that shit. I'm almost 70 and it's been a great run so far.
My sister in law visited first part of summer. She does medical marijuana. I am not a pot smoker. Have a few times smoked it, but I don't handle it very well. I took a few hits of that stuff she had, and man was it potent, not like the stuff from the 70's or 80's. Me and pot don't do well together, so I stay away from it.
I remember once growing a marijuana plant in my apartment window when I was around 18/19. Went to breakfast on morning, and the cop that lived in same apartments ask me, what is that plant growing in you window. I help my hand up and said, I just wanted to see if it would grow. He said, it'll grow, get rid of it.
Yes, no - it is nothing like that now.
