Sadly that's the way the western world seems to operate at the moment - there is PC 'orthodoxy' and anything that might challenge that narrative is suppressed. All rather 1984.

Maybe it's the tar which protects - up to a point? Anyway, while we wait, maybe the mantra should be 'a cig a day keeps covid-19 at bay'. Any 'research' to check on that means adding up the numbers of hosp covid patients who smoke & dividing it by the total , etc. It'd be a shame to find out later that a simple partial remedy was dismissed because of its perceived political incorrectness.

Well I understand that smoking is in decline, in aggregate, but when I saw the words 'in earnest' I figured that was the journo's way of adding his own little spin on things - to express disapproval, in so many words. I stopped reading the papers or watching TV news a long time ago as the vast majority of it is either deliberately distorted for effect by the language used, or it's all opinions and activism and 'don't-look-here-look-over-there' misdirection. Call me cynical...

I believe BATS was working on a nicotine based vaccine. spud

The virus does like fat people however

[topazfrenzy] 25/11/2020 15:59

Yes that is right, active smokers were less likely to contract the virus according to that report Maybe IMB should release a tobacco vaccine or a nicotine mask lol

France ( someone in) was doing research earlier this year into the observation that smokers are less liable to be infected with Covid (albeit having a bigger problem with the disease if they did in fact catch it.). I haven't seen any follow up to that.Has anyone else ? I'm pretty sure it wasn't fake news at the time.

CASSINI23 Nov '20 - 15:46 - 5780 of 5784 0 2 1 'Imperial, which reported full-year results this week, says it expects tobacco's decline to resume in earnest next year.' Did Imperial really use the words 'decline to resume in earnest next year' or was that just paraphrasing by the scribbler? -------------------------------------------- Whether he did or not, that's the long term likelyhood anyway.

mperial Brands plc, a British multinational tobacco company based in Bristol have recently started to expand their portfolio into the cannabis sector. The company who are behind popular tobacco brands such as Embassy, Lambert & Butler, Richmond and Golden Virginia have invested into two cannabis-based companies in the last 14 months whose products range vary from medical cannabis to vaping technology. The move comes as other huge multinational companies from other major industries are also taking an interest in CBD. From big pharmaceutical companies interest into the CBD market to the development of cannabis-based beverages by alcohol and soft drinks industries and cbd balms based for sore muscles.

Never really bother with directors purchases. Marginally less useless than broker recommendations. Not that long ago that the previous chairman stuck quarter of a million in at 30 quid a share

[luderitz] 20/11/2020 12:25

Interesting Rhubarb but have they also been selling on the quiet as well for a profit? I don't know do you?

Looking at Stockopedia, it is apparent that the directors have been buying consistently since the beginning of the year, sometimes in substantial quantities, which suggests that they at least have confidence in the future for the company.

[spud] 19/11/2020 19:52

Interesting to note that Auxly Cannabis Group, which IMB has a substantial investment in, has risen 330% since September. Could this be the jewel in the crown I wonder. spud
