Researchers from France have confirmed that they would test nicotine patches on coronavirus infected patients.According to the hypothetical study, smoking would be a protective element against the infection by the coronavirus. The researchers say that the Covid -19 virus can be controlled using nicotine. Smoking would cause severe pathological consequences, whereas Nicotinic agents would give an efficient treatment for a dangerous infection such as Covid-19 under controlled settings. Hence, they have planned to use nicotine patches and other delivery methods in hospitalised patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19 including symptoms, prevention and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organisation or your national healthcare authority.
