It appears that smoking/nicotine inhibits the SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan Kung Flu).

Chronic nicotine inhalation increases susceptibility to cardiovascular and pulmonary
diseases through inhibition of local compensatory mechanisms


Our pilot data suggest that cigarette smoke or nicotine inhalation inhibits the expression
of ACE2/AT2R in multiple organs including the brain, heart and lungs, thus disrupting the
balance within the RAS.

Re: CoViD-19 Appears to Affect Smokers Less
Good timing on my behalf, i just started smoking few months ago. I roll my own cigars with natural Turkish tobacco though, won't even get close to commercial cigarettes. Not only they taste like crap and burn your throat but also they won't give you any buzz like natural tobacco does. I have been smoking approximately 3 cigars per day since i started, i can abstain at any time for any duration and dont get any withdrawal symptoms.

Re: CoViD-19 Appears to Affect Smokers Less
I've read, for years, that smokers did better with Spanish Flu because it suppressed the cytokine storm response, so I'm predisposed to think there's something there, but I would definitely like to see a much larger study done.

I never heard that about Spanish flu.

Although it make sense for reducing inflammation (may be acute inflammation) - there are some exercises to help with stuffy nose that involve doing squats while holding your breath.

 Quoting: fiora.ni


This doesn't directly address smokers and the Spanish Flu although it makes the point. For some reason, I can't find a quick link to that although I've been reading about it for years and have been planning on using nicotine to suppress the cytokine storm response if I get CoViD. Even though this piece is talking more generally, the Spanish Flu and nicotine's effect on cytokine storm is mostly what I was looking for.

[link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)]

For example, the H1N1 strain that caused the 1918 pandemic has been shown to induce higher levels of proinflammatory immune cells and cytokines in the lungs than seasonal influenza viruses. This contributes to its high virulence and may account for the unusually high mortality rate seen in otherwise healthy young adults during the outbreak

Nicotine is a nonselective agonist of the α7Ach receptor and is able to suppress the production of proinflammatory cytokines by mimicking the binding of acetylcholine. It has been demonstrated that nicotine can selectively reduce the inflammatory response in a number of infection scenarios, including Legionella pneumophila (54) and Chlamydia pneumoniae (55) infection; however, it is highly unlikely that nicotine will ever be used clinically due to its toxicity, addictive nature, and lack of specificity.

Re: CoViD-19 Appears to Affect Smokers Less
There may be something to this nicotine/nCoV-19 relation...
Here is another, very in-depth report in this topic:

Alternative Roles of STAT3 and MAPK Signaling Pathways in the MMPs Activation and Progression of Lung Injury Induced by Cigarette Smoke Exposure in ACE2 Knockout Mice

Abstract (in part):
Inflammation-mediated abnormalities in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of lung injury. Angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2), an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) homologue that displays antagonist effects on ACE/angiotensin II (Ang II) axis, could also play a protective role against lung diseases. However, the relationship between ACE2 and MMPs activation in lung injury is still largely unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether MMPs activity could be affected by ACE2 and which ACE2 derived signaling pathways could be also involved via using a mouse model with lung injury induced by cigarette smoke (CS) exposure for 1 to 3 weeks.

EDIT:
Possible Inhibitors of ACE2, the Receptor of 2019-nCoV
Abstract:
Most recently, an outbreak of severe pneumonia caused by the infection of 2019-nCoV, a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, China, imposes serious threats to public health. Many important aspects about 2019-nCoV remain largely unknown, among which, the limitation of antiviral therapies represents one of the most critical problems. More recently, it was confirmed that human ACE2 is the receptor for the entry of 2019-nCoV into lower respiratory tract epithelial cells. Give this observation, it is thus expected that the virus could be inhibited if we decrease the expression of ACE2. Here by screening two databases, Connectivity Map (CMap) and our JeaMoon Map (JMap), we identified a number of candidate agents that decrease ACE2 expression. CMap analysis identified 5 compounds, among which, Azathioprine is a possible therapeutic strategy for anti-2019-nCoV. Moreover, JMap analysis revealed a number of comounds, biologics, and traditional Chinese medicine, among which, Andrographis, Urtica, Sambucus, Astragalus, valproic acid, butyrate, and epoxomicin represent the most significant and possible strategies for anti-2019-nCoV therapies. This study provides a number of clues and possible therapeutic strategies for 2019-nCoV prevention and treatment.

Thanks, MD. I did some GLP digging and found this post from the Swine Flu days.

"This ability of nicotine to attenuate an inflammatory response may also be the cause of reduced mortality of chronically nicotine-treated mice from acute influenza A pneumonitis."
[link to www.sciencedirect.com]

"Moreover, nicotine appears to moderate the inflammation associated with turpentine-induced sterile abscess and influenza infection. These anti-inflammatory properties of nicotine may account for longer survival of nicotine-treated than control mice lethally infected with influenza virus."

I've been a regular smoker for 41 years and roll my own. Sometimes I may smoke tobacco from my corncob pipe. Instead of dumping ashtrays, I take all the cigarette butts and put them in a can. If I run low on tobacco, I pull the butts apart and either roll a cigarette or use my pipe. Also, I use the cigarette butts for the insecticide properties for plants/crops (soaked in water to leech the alkaloids, diluted with water and a squirt of dish soap, placed in a hand-pumped sprayer). Nicotine is no stranger for this hillbilly!

Nicotine stops a cytokine storm.

The nicotine molecules bind to the cytokine receptors and stop the cascading reaction.

Known for a long time but suppressed - it's why you see the guys smoking pipes in those woodcuts depicting them burying bodies from the great plague.

On wikipedia tobacco plant includes both nicotine and harmala alkaloids.

In ancient middle eastern medicine they used the Harmala herb (African Rue) as treatment for Parkinson tremors, high blood pressure and neurological disorders such as depression and psycatric / nervous conditions. [link to books.google.co.id (secure)] .Recent studies also suggest that Harmala also has antiviral properties against influenza A virus. [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)]

"Viral infections like the flu...can cause high blood pressure..raise odds for heart attack or stroke"
[link to www.webmd.com (secure)]

"researchers have found proof of a direct association between strain OC 43 of the human coronavirus (HCoV) and neurological disease"
[link to www.sciencedaily.com (secure)]

"the new coronavirus behaves more like influenza than SARS"
[link to www.pharmacist.com (secure)]

Now the fun part. Wikepdia only mentions that tobacco has nicotine and harmala ingredients. But actually tobacco has 5 more minor alkaloids (less then 5% of total alkaloids): anabasine, nornicotine, anatabine, cotinine and myosmine
[link to academic.oup.com (secure)]

Short summary of Tobacco Alkaloids:

1. Nicotine: anti-inflammatory for immune and nervous system, suppresses cytokine production
[link to pdfs.semanticscholar.org (secure)]

2. Harmala:anti-viral (anti flu), anti-inflammatory, treats hypertension and neurological disorders

3. Anabasine:more toxic then nicotine, ancient egyptians used it as anti-septic, anti-inflammatory
[link to www.sciencedirect.com (secure)]

4. Nornicotine: similar applications to nicotine

5. Anatabine: anti-inflammatory and reduces pro-inflammatory production of cytokines also reduces neuro-inflammation
[link to www.researchgate.net (secure)]

6. Cotinene: main metabolite of nicotine, agent against psychiatric conditions and decreases fear
[link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)]

7. Myosmine: no benefits found. Apparantly a carcinogen (cancer causing)
