I like how smokers are moved up in the vaccine priority.
Way to go, decision makers! Dat’s why I voted fer yoo, cuz yoo is so smart!
There are a bunch of different states where this is going on. You can find all kinds of links. Here is one.
Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wednesday that people in that age bracket – and people 16 to 64 years old “with medical conditions, as defined by the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that increase the risk of severe illness from the virus” – can begin getting their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine starting Thursday. Some of the pre-existing conditions include cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Millions of smokers are also now eligible.

Here is another. I like this text!
The high-risk health factors that ACIP says would qualify someone age 16 to 64 to be part of this group include: obesity, severe obesity, type 2 diabetes, COPD, a heart condition, chronic kidney disease, cancer, immunocompromised state as the result of a solid organ transplant, sickle cell disease, pregnancy and smoking (either currently a smoker or with a history of smoking).

Since I like to be an out-of-the-box thinker, I wanted to start a smoker thread. I am not a smoker, but I am willing to learn!
Anyway, let’s learn from each other. Any tips on how to start? Camel or Marlboro? All tips welcome!
