Quote:Subject: Although not technically a medical treatment, nicotine and menthol could possibly be used to treat COVID-19. At a molecular level, nicotine may help prevent a cytokine storm from COVID-19 and menthol may have a synergistic relationship with nicotine that boosts this effect. Below is information from the NIH on nicotine and menthol . . .
Notes: It looks like the NIH knows all about the beneficial effects of nicotine and menthol when treating COVID. The NIH knows that nicotine can reduce a cytokine storm and menthol can open up the airways, reduce pain and is toxic to cancer cells. They know tobacco contains a potent anti-viral agent that works against HIV and SARS. It seems that menthol cigarettes may be healthier than regular tobacco cigarettes and may have beneficial effects as a COVID treatment.
Wonder if that has anything to do with the FDA trying to ban menthol cigarettes?
