The world was a very different place last december when saudi aramco the Biggest Oil Company of them all went public in a blaze of glitz. The coronavirus pandemic means the bell has well and truly told for the oil sector even for a company then valued at a mind boggling 1. 00 trillion dollars the pandemic has quickly burned through balance sheets. The price of crude oil has plunged dramatically since coronavirus lockdowns led to a massive reduction in demand in the 6 months since around coal launched its shares oil has lost well over half its value and markets.

Now until there is a vaccine for covert 1000. 00 people around the world are looking for ways to protect themselves or what if one of those ways involves an addictive substance scientists in paris are probing whether smoking and nicotine can stop people from contracting the disease. Has been looking into it. Take a deep breath to get ready for whats coming next before covered 19 francis reputation as a land of heavy smokers sparked only negative headlines but in the middle of the Coronavirus Crisis the fact that more than a lot of french people smoke doctors to discover something they found hard to believe every morning i was. Looking whether or. Not. And then i have seen that we have virtually no. Durance workers in. The professors hypothesis is that smoking could protect against 19 he teamed up with one of frances leading neuroscientists who suspects nicotine might help prevent coronavirus molecules from invading the body but just i mean my life which is a little light. That ca you know a few weeks we were able to build up with these. I meet accept and the French Academy of science and again it may take a few weeks you probably are out of all Clinical Trials where both Health Workers and cover 1000 patients where nicotine patches have been approved at record speed the french authorities also followed the researchers that vice to risk trick sales of Nicotine Products and pharmacies to stop people from stockpiling patches and gum. If trials are successful that would undermine the current World Health Organizations advice that smoking likely makes people more vulnerable to cover at 19. The french doctors say nobody wants to believe them so does that include the w. H. O. What do you make of these findings. Kovan 1000. 00 is a respiratory illness and smoking causes damage to the longest and there are a number of studies out there that have been published that have found that smoking leads to more severe disease the development of severe disease and puts people at higher risk for being put on a ventilator being in i. C. U. And for dying the w. H. O. Also warns that increased contact between lips and fingers while smoking or even sharing a cup are coproduct is an additional infection risk. The paris based scientists do not recommend taking up smoking. Not smoking smoking is getting in fancy about 70000 people. Even more than that it will be 90. The scientists in paris are working day and night as well as looking at nicotine they are exploring alternatives which would not be addictive. Or we are trying to design a study reason one of these compounds is still confidential. And we know that this compound. Effect the nicotine patches dont try this at home the Team Strongly warns against self medicating and unless the trials come up with definitive proof hopes of a new coronavirus treatment could still go up in smoke. Lets get some perspective on this story now we can speak to dr mikhail is only hes a neurobiologist at the university of montana in italy doctors only thank you for joining us i want to get your take on this because you are also currently a looking at any possible links between tobacco and the treatment of covered 19 so what do you make of this french study. I think that certainly. Wrong the word is rather interesting in fact. We should expect that smokers are in a higher percentage than most smokers in the population of people of patients and. There is i would say certainly because there are many studies about this theyre less than what the suspected so there is a racial basis to seeing that something smoking could be cookin can exert some kind of protection against the infection then it is certainly true what they heard just a few minutes ago that the smoking is very bad and that theres more who who has the disease can have less chance to survive so thats another point all right so there is some conflicting information out there but we do know that the World Health Organization is saying dont pick up smoking now what about testing nicotine patches on 1000 patients thats something that this french study is also looking into what do you think of this. I think that usually a trial or Clinical Trial needs a lot of preliminary evidence but given the pandemics. That can be justified since the 8 ball this is certainly interesting. We know a lot about the could in patches theyre used for Smoking Cessation and also for several of the other diseases so we know the toxicology we know the risk of these patches. So they are no one in many respects and so can be a drug that is immediately available to be used the sort trial i think is justified doctors only are you worried that some of the initial findings of these studies that are not yet conclusive might be sending the wrong message to the public that smokers or people using nicotine packets patches could actually see some benefit in fighting 1000. Yeah. And they understand perfectly why theyre going to Different Countries are there of course im aware about this and so they are giving a stronger communication to smoke and not to follow this research from now but even the future there will be some strong proof that. At the end of this trial for example that. Can be effective i think that it can be used and it could be reasonably safe. But of course we must be very strong in saying that the one thing he said he could or even better more selective and he developed it. But not smoking smoking by itself is much more dangerous or at least. 19 so we cannot the therapy that this. Is a disease ok larry off to leave it there is only neurobiologist at the university of montana thank you so much for joining us thank you.
