Everything burnt is carcinogenic, including food cooked on the grill. My Uncle got throat cancer from too many Joints, he never smoked tobacco, only weed. He smoked as much as IceT... But, I do agree tobacco has been vilified and lied about including recently...
Nicotine blocks the ACE2 receptors thus preventing cv19 spike protein from attaching. (probably other corona viruses as well) This was well known at the beginning of the pandemic that smokers were not getting infected at a higher rate like experts expected.
In fact the number of hospitalized smokers with c19 was so small that intelligent people started to look into why, while bureaucrats and media censored the truth of the findings. Nurses in NYC and other locations were using nicotine patches as prophylactic against c19.
you can find older studies if you search but the data has since been buried/censored and scrubbed from the web, replaced with untrue, damning, fake "science". Webmd had a good article on it in April 2020. It is archived on their site now. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200430/smokers-hospitalized-less-often-for-covid-19
Smoking is also an anti-inflammatory and the NIH has studies showing it can be beneficial in some disease scenarios where inflammation is an issue.
I believe that the "second hand smoke" vilification was done to distract people from the real culprits, like the chemicals and pesticides used in out agriculture and packaging processes as well as industrial toxins many are exposed to every day. Even as MANY people have quit smoking and almost all businesses and public areas have banned smoking, the rates of illness they say are caused by "second hand smoke" has still increased year after year. I am not saying that no one has ever been injured by second hand smoke, I am sure a few have. It is being used as a scapegoat to steer people away from the real polluters, meanwhile government agencies and media are blowing smoke up everyone's A$$, with the second hand smoke issue.
