E305 - DELICIOUS IRONY? | NEW STUDIES SHOW SMOKERS DO BETTER WITH COVID19 | REGWATCH (LIVE)

It’s simply astonishing. New studies are showing that current smokers have a significantly lower risk of COVID-19 death than both never-smokers and former smokers when you correct for other variables, including many of the health problems that smoking intensifies. The new science is in addition to several studies released early in the Coronavirus pandemic, which showed a link between nicotine use and the prevention of COVID-19.

What should vapers make of these startling new developments? Could the mantra “Vaping Saves Lives” be extended to COVID-19?

Joining us on RegWatch is Clive Bates, renowned international tobacco control expert and master of the counterfactual. Bates walks viewers through the findings of the new studies and provides his analysis of the potential impact on the bitter battle to ban the vape.

We’ll also dive into the recent teen vaping study released by Dr. David Hammond, the campaign to cap nicotine strength in Canada, and how the predicate “better safe than sorry” may be the death knell of western civilization.
