Awesome opportunity for you to stop smoking - Bossk - Mar 22, 2020
A fresh study from China suggests that frequent smokers have a 14 times higher risk of serious symptoms from Covid-19. This is a perfect opportunity for the smokers of HF to stop doing such a cringe thing. ✌

That’s my biggest worry with this is I smoke a lot of blunts so my lungs probably aren’t in the best shape

Yup this is for sure a fact. I am a smoker and cut down heavily.

Y'all also aren't under such stress now that you are home all the time, don't need that nicotine. Quit it!

I quit both cigarettes and weed ~10 months ago. Hopefully my lungs got better during this time :d

If you're an ex-smoker, you should eat lots of broccoli. Seriously, it helps repair the damage to your respiratory system caused by smoking.

It's logical as both smoking and COVID-19 affect the lungs.

Also a reason why Italy is not doing so well. Lots of old people that smoke regularly. Not sure which Italian gov official said it, but they were pleading for people to stop going to the store daily to buy cigarettes.

I wouldn't particularly state smoking as the main cause of death of this virus in Italy but rather the lack of medical equipment and being too late to enforce/apply rules to stop the spread of the virus. Without the proper medical supplies such as breathing machines, hard decisions have to be made on a daily if not hourly basis. E.g. taking a breathing machine away from an older person to possibly save the life of a younger person.
If only measures were taken to slow down the spread in time. However, if's and but's won't change the situation Italy is in right now, nor will it help those who are currently dying. 9.25%* of those who are infected are currently dying in Italy, according to the official numbers. That's almost 1/10 people. That is, simply put, horrifying.

I haven't been smoking a lot recently (weed and cigs) and trying to cut back in general. This might be the time for me to completely stop smoking cigs and cut down on smoking weed.
