Pandemic. Smoking. Racism.

This short doc is about Covid-19, smoking, vaping and racism. We interview Riccardo Polosa, a world-renowned researcher about how he convinced the Italian government to keep vape shops open. He talks about how nicotine could have a protective affect against the coronavirus. Polosa also discusses how the pandemic is playing out differently in Italy and the US. More people of color have died from the coronavirus in the US as a result of racial disparities in the US healthcare system. Racism kills.
