I had that in the spring. Like you, the sense of smell is not fully back.

I do remember seeing signs in the old days where smoking was considered good for your health, maybe 100 years ago. You would not get sick from viruses if you smoked , viruses like clean respiratory systems ,so employers and advertisers promoted this.
Bring in the pharmaceutical companies that claimed they had a medicine which could cure the common cold, and ward off any viruses that came your way (snake oil anyone?) ,at a price !! Then the battle began between big pharma and tobacco companies .

This is because all over the world there is a fight not against smoking, but against smokers (((

There is evidence that states "Nicotine is able to suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines", but of course, "Smoking bad! Quit smoking!".

I flew to Saratov, took part as a speaker at the annual All-Russian anti-corruption forum, taking place online, and wrote my next article in the federal media.

Too true. I have to wonder, as American society continues to crack down on and demonizes cigarette smoking and smokers, why is there such a big push to legalize marijuana?

Not exactly relevant, but I'm curious nonetheless...
Why did you have to fly somewhere in order to take part in something online?

Ooof! Four grams?! For us unenlightened Americans still using the British Imperial system of measurement, I believe one gram is about the size/weight of a single M&M. Ten years in “the Dolphin” where you live, RT, and here WE are, trying like mad to get our government to legalize it. I’m not in favor of legalizing it, but many here are. The world she’s crazy.
