Science and reason aren’t panic. But your words reflect panic—as well as an selfish prioritization of your own personal interest above anything else.

Google “Keith Redding lung damage” and watch a doctor walk through the severe damage suffered by a 59-yo nonsmoker before he was hospitalized. After watching that if you still think it’s like the flu, you’re hopeless.

Of course, one would have to accept science, 3-D modeling, and decades of medical experience and training ... nah! I’ll just “believe” what I want and reject everything else.

Many years ago you were the guys saying man wouldn’t fly, people couldn’t breathe above 20 stories up, and spirits caused sickness ... glad progress continues even through human fear and failings. Darwin will win, though..
