Well thatās a very scientific argument. FFS
What about the Scandinavians?
Are people suggesting thereās no link with smoking here, look at the Chinese data, where men smoke and women donāt.
Leave smoking out this you utter bastards
Thereās no smoke without fire lads.
Half of the people in ICU in France are under 50.
Read the first few pages of this thread, when you were dismissing this outbreak.
Source?
Sorry mate, do you enjoy the odd fag?
We wish
You blamed smoking for the difference between France and Northern Europe. France smokes less than Germany and Denmark and Austria all of which have lower death rates.
These are facts.
Itās very possible, even likely that smoking is a factor, but it doesnāt explain what you are trying to make it explain.
Anyway, thatās the end of my involvement in this, I havenāt the time nor the energy to be arguing with someone who uses arguments such as ānot in my experienceā when confronted with empirical evidence
Smoking is cool and you all know it
Must be smokers.
I bet anything it will be found that better access to quality healthcare gives people a better chance of surviving. I bet anything.
Give up the fags Sid.
Unless you know how many of the sick are or were smokers, you have no empirical evidence. Neither do I admittedly, but it is as good a hypothesis as any.
The lads giving out about auld stocks going to Cheltenham have no problem smoking fags and giving their nearest and dearest cancer. You couldnāt make it up
Maybe I imagined it, but have people not been using the French health care system as a example to aspire to?
Anybody smoking in this day and age should have their head examined.
I wasnāt trying to make a hypothesis mate. Just pointing out the glaring hole in yours.
Kind Regards,
