    "What happens to your airways when you smoke cannabis is that it causes some degree of inflammation, very similar to bronchitis, very similar to the type of inflammation that cigarette smoking can cause," said pulmonologist Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer for the American Lung Association. "Now you have some airway inflammation and you get an infection on top of it. So, yes, your chance of getting more complications is there."

    • Smokers actually have a slightly higher tolerance to C19 as smoking reduces ACE2 enzymes which is what C19 latches onto. Fucked once they get it though.Nairn
    • I gotta stop conflating C19 with SARS-CoV-2.Nairn

    • But seriously, most COVID deaths are people age 70 and older. Life expectancy of a smoker is 10 years less than average. You need to account for age.
      ********
    • So, sure, there are fewer overall deaths among smokers, but that's because the elderly smokers were already dead before COVID came along.

    • Oh fuck, I've just realised that this totally gels with a ridiculous-sounding solution by the likes of BAT that was mentioned in relation to C19 last week or soNairn

    • I have a few CBD oil vape pens, but we've had this conversation a few weeks ago - seems like a bad idea to inhale anything these days.mg33
    • I went back to drops under my tongue, doesn't work as well but better than inhaling it.mg33
