  1. SMOKERS AND THE PANDEMIC IMPACT! This is a first of its kind. A pandemic so large it’s affected the whole world. Anxiety, stress and worry is at an all-time high. And to soothe and calm oneself the go-to escape is a cigarette. Danielle Eddy for example, a smoker for 20 years, quit at the start of 2019. But when the coronavirus pandemic hit, the 42-year-old spirits industry consultant lit up again. And he isn’t the only one. In Brussels, photographer Olivier Truyman says that pre-COVID, he was smoking less than three-quarters of a pack a day. Nowadays, he paces in his apartment “like a panther in a cage.” And he’s lighting up more than a pack a day. People have lost their jobs because of the pandemic causing a general sense of anxiety around the world which in turn influences cigarette consumption. In quite a few countries tobacconists were deemed “essential” and stayed open in lockdown. Tobacco was even on sale in stores that sell other necessities such as groceries. As a whole. Everyone has different coping mechanisms. Thank god there’s cigarettes for those who need it. Especially during these trying times.
