A bit of good news (health-wise).

Quote Thousands of people in Finland quit their smoking habits this year directly due to coronavirus concerns, according to a survey commissioned by the tobacco policy and public health group ASH Finland.

....

ASH Finland estimated that between 5,000 to 18,000 people in Finland quit smoking directly due to health concerns regarding coronavirus. The broad estimate was due to a relatively large margin of error, according to the organisation. 

The group's survey found that the epidemic prompted 11 percent of smokers to try to quit smoking, while 15 percent made efforts to smoke less than before the epidemic began.
