10 Has anyone read about this? This is the second article I have seen that says that vaping may have some antibacterial properties.. wondering if there is any truth to it? I went to vaping to get off of cigarettes.. I have always wondered if it was much safer then smoking.

Not sure about that antibacterial, however Nicotine binds to the Ace2 receptors thus blocking the covid spike proteins. Much of the research is memory holed or deleted now. Archived at webmd https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/smokers-hospitalized-less-often-for-covid-19
Also,
Nicotine has anti-inflammatory effects, there is an article on NIH. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3163205/
