Indeed, and my tobacco continues to live to this day in the front yard.

Yes, which is why I put that "Authentic California Tobacco" as homage to Patrick's posts on his seedling progress.
LOL! He did grow some tobbacky!

Nicotine is 30 times more receptive to the Ace receptor than the spike protein. Nicotine temporarily relieves symptoms of the bioweapon. The trick is how to get it out of the system when the nicotine wears off.

Thanks @EconPete
Where did you read this about nicotine and the ACE receptor?

There are differing studies, here's the devil's advocate study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7942220/#:~:text=Nicotine%20exposure%20induces%20rapid%20and,2%20replication%20and%20cytopathic%20effect.
Here's a balanced one which is probably closest to the truth. The answer is it depends:

The idea behind the alleviation of covid symptoms is the competition for ACE2, essentially blocking replication.

Maybe a nicotine patch would help, in general. It's not just the lungs that express ACE2.

Maybe good old "chaw" would be better. Everyone get their pouch of Red Man, stuff a plug into the cheek and have a spit.

That'll go a long way to induce social distancing.

Nicotine therapeutics: therapeutic aspects of nicotine stimulation for brain disorders:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLt04eIAHAQ
Seven years old but more and more we're finding that nicotine alone isn't harmful. In fact, people who have never smoked etc., don't get addicted to it if they use a low dose patch. A big part is the high dose that hits from smoking and the ritual.

From that page:
More evidence of nicotine curing covid
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS8UR-Lkrr8/
From that page:
Nicotine has complex effects, often showing anti-inflammatory properties by activating specific receptors (α7nAChR) and pathways (cholinergic) that suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines, beneficial in conditions like arthritis or ulcerative colitis, but it can also promote oral inflammation (like gingivitis) and, within tobacco smoke, its negative effects, addiction, and other toxins far outweigh any potential benefit.
Researchers and doctors have shown it cures over 500 different diseases and reverses long-COVID symptoms.
How Nicotine Can Reduce Inflammation:
Activates Receptors: Nicotine binds to alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR) on immune cells, acting like a switch to calm inflammation.
Modulates Immune Cells: It can regulate lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, influencing cytokine (inflammatory messenger) release.
Engages the Vagus Nerve: It triggers the body’s natural anti-inflammatory reflex (the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway).

Maybe smoking is the answer. Seriously. Smokers were known to be significantly less likely to catch the virus Fauci created in Wuhan with our tax dollars:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32964233/
My theory: tobacco smoke kills respiratory viruses.
Not saying there aren't long-term dangers to smoking. There certainly are.
But maybe one or two cigarettes at the beginning of a viral respiratory disease is actually quite effective in stopping it.
