Study in several countries indicates that smokers are less affected by corona virus!

Is it because of temperature of smoke? Instead of smoking cigarette, if we just heat the normal air to the temperature same as that of cigarette smoke, inhale it through mouth and release through nose, will it kill the viruses in lungs, mouth, nose and throat? Usually viruses don't survive at high temperatures. Animals which have higher body temperatures than humans are not affected by viruses.
It's most likely due to the nicotine, nicotine acts as a cytokine inhibitor, limiting your body from an over active immune response and the associated inflammation.

I heard recently that smoking is bad for your health ?
Mark Twain said that
"quitting smoking is easy, I've done it a hundred times."
I was waiting on a line at small convenience store in NYC area
Man at register says " that will be $130.00 please !!
Caught my attention as it was a 5 and dime ... he hands her one carton of 10 packs of cigarettes
So "Thay."...$7.00 ?
It's almost twice that on this coast ....
I have to agree with thread starter here ...regardless the hazard... why should a cigarette
Inhibit Covid??

Smoking is definitely bad for health. My doubt is whether hot smoke can be replaced by hot air.
We (in India) boil water to kill microbes and make it safe for drinking (of course, we drink it after cooling only). Similarly why can't we heat air and inhale it to kill viruses?
Hot water to kill bacteria and hot air to kill viruses! (we cannot pump hot water to lungs)

I think it depends on what you smoke.
I agree. A lot of antibiotic smoke also can be inhaled to reduce viral effects. But my question is about temperature. If high temperature alone can kill viruses there is no need to inhale cigarette smoke, antibiotic or herbal smoke. We can simply kill viruses by hot air itself.
