In the United States more than 100000 less people died of COVID-19 in 2020 than of smoking. It is useful to put it all in perspective to keep from panicking.

- ianlevesque 6y agoYou can choose not to smoke. You can’t choose not to covid.
- tinus_hn 6y agoNice offhand dismissal. * Many of these people are not smokers themselves, they are dying from second hand smoking * You are free to choose to smoke, but not to choose to go to a bar? It’s reasonable to forbid people to visit their grandparents but not to forbid them to smoke? The proper comparison would be that you can choose ‘not to Covid’ as much as you can choose ‘not to lung cancer’. A nonsensical proposition.
