I mentioned this the other day and got shot down. 'Cause lots of people in China smoke.

I rarely get colds. I think it is because I smoke like a chimney basicly preventing oxygen and bad things to live in my lungs.

Perhaps it is notable then that there are, as yet, no known cases in Kentucky. There are tons of smokers here.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can try to correlate the numbers of ill with the smoking population, or high pollution areas. Might be interesting.

I smoke too. I get one cold a year in late winter and it's a slight sore throat, runny nose and a brief fever. I shake it off in a few days and that's it. Haven't had the flu in over 20 years and never get a shot. I'm working on 8 years worked with no sick time and have 3 days sick off (that flu) in 24 years at my present job.

I'm probably building up for a doozey.
