The reader told me that smokers do not actually get sick with tuberculosis, but the medical department hides this fact, because... it is not clear why, but hides it. Because!
On this occasion, I am commenting on a reader's comment. People who smoke have nicotine addiction. This dependence can be not only emotional, when the smoker wants to smoke, but also physical, when the smoker without smoking is really bad.
Everyone understands that smoking is harmful, but it's hard to quit, so smokers love different tales of the benefits of smoking. As an excuse for smoking. The story is about the same with tuberculosis.
Guys, well, you strain your brains a little. If smoking protected against tuberculosis, then tuberculosis would be eradicated. Because more than a billion people smoke all over the world. Approximately 80% of smokers live in poor countries, that is, exactly where tuberculosis is rampant. If smoking saved from tuberculosis, then they would not get sick.
In fact, a person who smokes is 1.5 to 2 times more likely to develop tuberculosis. And in patients with tuberculosis, a chicken is more likely to die from this tuberculosis.
Smokers are not only more likely to have tuberculosis, they are also more likely to have holes in their lungs and flare-ups.
So, once again, the conspiracy theory points first of all to the eccentricity of its adherent. Are they called that?
