Thanks for that perspective. I have always been repelled by the smell of tobacco smoke, so it's hard to conceive of it as being enjoyable to breathe it on purpose. I always just saw it as an addictive drug. Those kinds of personal calculations of pros and cons are why the decisions about the Covid injectable products should always have been made by each individual.

Thanks for reading my reply with an open mind, which is not the norm, unfortunately. Yes, believe me, smoking can be very enjoyable. I agree on the jabs. My wife and I never considered them, despite being seniors. Seemed all risk, most likely no reward, given what we knew even before the rollout. Still, I didn't try to talk others out of it, after all, I'm not omniscient and it didn't seem completely impossible SOME people might have avoided a bad bout of COVID if jabbed. Since I didn't know with near 100% certainty, I had no business telling them what to do.
