Smoking to prevent the new coronavirus is nonsense because smoking itself is harmful. It is incorrect to say that tobacco has a direct killing effect on coronaviruses. It may be argued that from the time of SARS in 2003, it seems that the lungs are less prone to inflammatory storms after smoking, but the clinical evidence is not conclusive, but smoking is certainly toxic to people, so do not overdo it, and offset one harm with another in order to prevent the virus, and there is no definitive conclusion that it is effective at this point in time. Although some of the important smoking methods in Chinese medicine are now being discovered, including the smoking of cangzhu and mugwort, none of them are recommended to be inhaled into the lungs, but are just a disinfection of the environment, so smoking does not prevent coronavirus.
