Only testing the theory, but that would be quite a thing if true.

Edit:

"The renowned French neurobiologist Jean-Pierre Changeux, who reviewed the study, suggested the nicotine might stop the virus from reaching cells in the body preventing its spread. Nicotine may also lessen the overreaction of the body’s immune system that has been found in the most severe cases of Covid-19 infection."

Nicotine isn't really harmful on its own, but it is addictive. Its the tar and chemicals in cigarettes that will fu ck you up. I'm assuming the French are suggesting nicotine in the pure form, not prescribing 40 Camel a day? But then, it is the French.

In high doses nicotine can be fatal but in the amounts found in cigs and vapes completely harmless and your body just flushes it out.

Nicotine is found in tomatoes, spuds and other foods anyways and is harmless.

If it helps against covid-19 then I will keep on vaping :-)

All men and women are created, by the, you know the, you know the thing.
