Popis:	Biomass smoke, including that from tobacco and incense sticks, exhibits disinfective activity against airborne and droplet-borne biocontamination. Tobacco smoke has been a silent epidemiological protector of indoor communal spaces. Uniform restrictions on smoking in indoor communal spaces is suspected to have contributed to COVID-19 outbreaks. The elimination of tobacco smoke from indoor communal spaces is like not adding hypochlorite to a public swimming pool. The uniform imposition of smoking restrictions in communal spaces carries a high epidemiological risk.
