https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6268702/I have heard a French expert that said people who smoke tobacco have a lower risk to get covid-19. I was wondering if it was the same for people who snuff.it seems that tobacco leaves have a powerful antioxidant effect. do you think that we should increase our tobacco snuff consumption during the crisis ? Do you think we get antioxydant as they say in the article ?

Not sure about antioxydants and their antiviral efficacy in tobacco smoke. Smoke contains free radicals, which negatively affects immune response and are known to aggravate virus infections, such as influenza virus caused pneumonia. Will have a read later.
P. S. Skimmed the article, no mentions of smoke/smoking. It's all about flavonoids.
One great source of flavonoids is tea. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3831543/
