 Second Hand Smoke and Covid 19 11 13 2020

 

From CDC website

"Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in adults who have never smoked. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work increase their risk of developing lung cancer by 20–30%. Secondhand smoke causes more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths among U.S. nonsmokers each year."

 From CNN

"(Health.com) -- If you have perpetually clogged and swollen sinuses, secondhand smoke -- even in small amounts may be to blame. According to a new study, secondhand smoke may be responsible for up to 40 percent of cases of chronic sinusitis.Apr 19, 2010"

 

From Medicine .net

"Secondhand smoke causes significant health problems, including cancer. Children are particularly vulnerable to secondhand smoke, experiencing an increase in lung infections, bronchitis, worsening of asthma, and increased risk for SIDS."

 

So I suppose that I need to connect all the dots for you?  Don't you just love it?  You can lay out all the facts like that but the ingrained Republicans will claim that you were not able to connect the dots and therefore didn't provide evidence to the contrary of them?  How can you define people like that other than clowns? 

So what are the odds you are more likely to die if exposed to both second hand smoke and covid 19?

Can you hear that dumb Milwaukee Pollack already chiming in?  "Dat smoke kills all ed the covid germs."

Just because you want to believe something doesn't mean it is true.  Just because you want to believe Donald Trump really won the election definitely does not mean it is true.

See in those three paragraphs that I copied and pasted there are very important words that have meaning and implications.

Republicans don't want to ruin the miserable smokers day!  They don't want the miserable alcoholic to be miserable either.  "Sure honey have that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Child it is what God told you to do."  Again complete spoiled will.

But what does that tell you about them?  That they need a crutch?  Godless pagans prancing around pretending to be the most high righteous.  And right here out comes the jab at organized religion.  "No God would ever tell you that drinking alcohol makes you immortal!"
