Sure, I would agree that smoking increases one’s risk for pneumonia but there are other risk factors as well. Interestingly in the early 1900’s -1900 to 1919, cigarette smoking wasn’t all that popular although cigar smoking was along with chewing tobacco and snuff. But that doesn’t explain why that strain of influenza was so deadly.
A couple of years ago my nephew came down with the flu. He’s in his early 30’s, he eats a very healthy diet, exercise regularly and doesn’t smoke. Ironically I also contracted that same flu bug around the same time, we were both sick at Christmas, but it was one of those rare years that I hadn’t gotten a flu shot. I wish I had gotten one.
My nephew after getting the flu, developed pneumonia and was laid low for several weeks, with two trips to the doctor and one to the ER and missed a lot of time at work as a result. I was then a 2 pack a day smoker, middle-aged and overweight and ate a terrible diet – I got the same flu bug as my nephew but I didn’t get pneumonia and recovered much quicker, only missed about 4 days of work which was still more than I wanted to miss. Go figure.
As to the rest of your post above, it is plain gibberish and truly ignorant.
