Then you should do a Google search like Smoking Marijuana and Covid to find good medical references like this one:

As for Causing Covid, no. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is what causes Covid infections. Smoking has effects on the liklihood of infection and also the outcomes of the infection, but it cannot cause it.

Thread will stay locked.
