"i kinda get the point being made... which is because Covid basically affects the lungs, those that are smokers are going to be at a worse position at the get go... not sure i would have put it like that though..... " I think all smokers will know that, but he was sending so much mixed messages on it that it will only cause distress to those who are struggling.. | |||

"If you had to make the choice about who to put on a ventilator between people equally as ill but one is a smoker. Who is going to get the chance? The one with the best chance of recovery I suspect with the healthier lungs. Sounds like they are getting people ready for when these hard choices need to be made. " Whilst putting stress on the ones it will effect...its too late to stop now even if you could... | |||

"Makes no sense to do anything that involves putting your hands and fingers directly to your face and mouth. Just as ludicrous as all the panic buying and stockpiling going on at the moment " That’s a good point. | |||

"As a smoker I completely understand what hes was saying, but he didn't have to be a prick about it, yes at some point in my life I made a choice to smoke, now it's not a choice it's an addiction like any other and a bloody difficult one to break. If I quit now and need a ventilator in 2 weeks time would I be treat as a smoker or non smoker? If someone as smoked for 30 years and has been stopped for 20 years would they be treat as a smoker or non smoker? I ask because the damage is already done, while I appreciate that the lungs do repair themselves over time the scarring from smoking still remains. Also if it's a choice between a smoker and someone who is "morbidly obese" who gets the ventilator? It's not as black and white as he made it out to be." Exactly...the blokes just a over opinionated dickhead | |||

"Unfortunately if there are not enough ventilators then a stark choice has to be made by the doctors. In Italy they are already making those choices. One ventilator and a 62 year old and a 87 year old requiring it. It goes to the 62 year old . Hence why we need to keep to the government advice to keep the numbers down and make sure there are enough ventilators for all" As a smoker who knows I need to give up as it's really bad for me...I know all of what you put. What I object to is some doctor,columnist,politician, tv presenter dishing stupid opinions out by telling smokers to stop in one breath ,then telling them they wont get a ventilator in the next...ffs all he is doing is causing unwanted stress and anxiety. Doctor? My arse | |||

"So watching Jeremy Vine and old bullshit is spouting off again on smokers. The subject is should there be a ban on smoking and vaping. So this pompous prat who wants to be a doctor on minute then a politician and a presenter the next...has just spouted that if you are a smoker you will be taking up a hospital bed for someone suffering from the virus. Then he points out that being a smoker when the chips are down...that you wont get a ventilator as a fitter person will get it . ..then he tells you to stop smoking ffs. People are stressed and self isolating and his views do not help as your fecked if you continue smoking and fecked if you stop and get the virus ffs " He probably fancies himself filling the void left by Katie Hopkins! | |||

"Not exactly on topic but did you know certain types of tobacco are being banned in May and that by 2030 the government has plans for a complete ban on smoking now given how much revenue is generated from tax on tobacco products what do you think they will increase to offset the shortfall in income?" I dunno and not that bothered as a £10 packet of baccy lasts me a week now | |||

Add in my asthma that was diagnosed 8+ years after quitting smoking and it looks like I’m completely fucked! | |||
