Smokers are more likely to die from COVID-19

People who smoke cigarettes are more likely to die due to COVID-19 than non-smokers, according to Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) National Advocacy Co-ordinator Lorraine Govender.

"Research shows that people who smoke tobacco products are more likely to experience severe COVID-19 outcomes," Govender said.

people who smoke will most likely die... we all are dying

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

This arbitrary and thus irrational. Diabetes also more likely to die from COVID-19. Heart disease. etc, etc, etc
Is CANSA and the government going after those conditions as well?

Picking a single thing above and beyond others is irrational and is so transparently NOT about the virus. In that regard refer back to the first line of this post.

100% of people who die from Covid 19 drank water

100% of people who die from Covid 19 drank water

And they were born. We need to ban births to prevent death from Covid 19.

Smokers with damaged lungs, is not going to recover within any time frame that would make banning smoking worth while. And banning smoking will only make the black market flourish, as already proven.

Given how high it ranks in the susceptible cohort list, we should ban ageing.

Anyone older than 75 should be charged and sent to the MOOOOON

“Research shows that people who smoke tobacco products are more likely to experience severe COVID-19 outcomes,” Govender said.

The Hôpitaux de Paris and Pasteur Institute claimed a substance in cigarettes – likely nicotine – could be responsible for increased resistance to the initial infection.

So which is it Govender ? Where's your research ? You talk out of your as$. Now fckoff and work on a cure for cancer.​

The moment you question nonsense like this, this comes to mind:

 

[SpliceGold]

The air we breathe near factories are actually by far worse.

 

[Wag]

.....but the problem is that nobody stop smoking. They have less money available to buy food for their families but they still smoke. 21 Of our staff smoked before the lock down and the same 21 is still smoking.

 

[HunterNW]

It's so typical. Always looking for some scapegoat to hide all the other BS.

 

[pinball wizard]

100% of people that die from covid were alive before.

Why is a thread for random shitposts in N&CA and not O/T?

 

[Datura]

Not this fscking argument. Again. Holy schit. Why do you keep shoving this schit down our throats.
