Smokers who fell victim to the Wuhan virus were cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoke is mostly inhaled by it’s users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A ‘professional’ and thoughtfull cigar smoker never inhales cigar smoke. It is like comparing apples to oranges.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;different results. &amp;nbsp;Another is: when everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
