On the balance, aren't the risks still heavily against smoking?
Yes.
So what's the point of promoting one benefit of smoking when you still want to advise everyone to stop or never start smoking?
The first point is honesty, and that should be sufficient on its own. But even ignoring that, the obvious next step is to figure out the mechanism by which smoking inhibits Covid, which may lead to better vaccines or treatments.

But the author published an article "Smoke [cigarettes], save lives", which leads with a fat lie, so we're not getting it here. > ...the obvious next step is to figure out the mechanism by which smoking inhibits Covid... Of course. But that's separate from the media the author is complaining about.
