And I thought smoking was a comorbidity among covid 19 deaths. Maybe it's time u lift the ban on cigarettes. That's the least they can do after the lies they made public 🤔

And still ANC and health department make stupid rules like smoking ban instead of applying themselves to find treatment protocols and immune boosting regimens to improve outcomes. ANC is not serious on saving lives only on abusing our rights. anckillingsa restoreourrights

Wot!!! Not smoking? Am gobsmacked!! 🤣😅
