It is said that cigarette smokers weren't affected by SARS-CoV-2 because the cigarette nicotine binded to the nicotine receptors in the brain and prevented the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding.
Does this also mean cigarette smokers are less effected by snake venom than non-smokers?
Does the nicotine in cigarettes cause smokers to lose their sense of smell and taste?

I'm hoping some one has answers for the above.
Thanks, interesting. I'm trying to make sense of the nicotine receptor bit as it relates to SARS-CoV-2.
