from how i understand there are two strains of covid19- if you caught and endured one strain, does that imply immunity/resistance to reacquiring both?

Does smoking pot, smoking or vaping put people at greater risk with covid19?

I don't smoke anything, but am curious. Seems like a lot of folks will be vaping and smoking pot at a higher rate these days for a variety of reasons.

My non-medical layperson opinion is a resounding yes. I think it all contributes to a worse outcome. I'd be interested in professional opinions and studies as well. I'm sure you've seen images like this before.

Yup. Saw images like that years ago when I was in 7th grade in the early 70's and they were trying to drill it into young kids that smoking was bad for you. It was a very effective campaign and reduced smoking significantly.
